There is no mechanism by which this would work. Sorry, it will not do anything.

I tend to agree, this sort of policy didn’t work for insulin prices. If it does work I will be happy to be wrong!

For me no, I just am pessimistic due to things never actually changing when it comes to big pharma.

It shouldn't be that many times people find that it is cheaper to fly to another country to get their prescriptions than to buy it in the U.S. And in Illinois, our prescriptions are taxed.

No, as a physician myself who deals with Pharma, PBM’s, etc all the time I am sure he can’t just control prices. I understand what he’s trying to do but what he’s proposing would take an act of congress.

Yes!!! We are cheated so much by the pharmaceutical industry. It’s about time. They did this to themselves. Maybe if they hadn’t screwed the Americans so much this wouldn’t have been such a big hit to them.
