In a bold move to address the soaring costs of prescription medications, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at slashing these expenses, a decision hailed by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a significant stand against powerful industry forces.
During a press conference on Monday morning, Kennedy praised the President's resolve, stating, There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump.
As reported by Breitbart, Kennedy emphasized the significance of the day, describing it as extraordinary. He pointed out that while many Democratic leaders have long promised to tackle the issue of high drug prices, their efforts have consistently fallen short. This was the fulcrum of Bernie Sanders runs for presidency, that he was going to eliminate this discrepancy between Europe and the United States. As it turns out, none of them were doing it, Kennedy remarked. He attributed this failure to the pervasive influence of the pharmaceutical industry over Congress, noting that Congress is controlled in so many ways by the pharmaceutical industry.
Kennedy further elaborated on the formidable lobbying power of big pharma, which he said spends three times what the next-largest lobbyist spends on lobbying. He acknowledged the political sensitivity surrounding the issue, stating, This was an issue that people talked about. Nobody wanted to do anything because it was radioactive. However, he commended Trump for his unwavering commitment, asserting that the President cant be bought, unlike most of the politicians in this country.
Kennedy's remarks underscored the President's dedication to the American people, as he declared, And he is standing here for the American people. Theres writers who are saying that President Trump is on this side of the oligarchs. There has never been a president more willing to stand up to the oligarchs than President Donald Trump. Expressing personal admiration, Kennedy shared his pride in the President's actions, recounting how even his own children, ardent supporters of Bernie Sanders, were moved to tears by the announcement.
The executive order follows President Trump's preview of the initiative on Sunday, where he announced that Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. This decisive action represents a significant step towards alleviating the financial burden of healthcare on American families, aligning with conservative principles of reducing government interference and promoting individual welfare.
