Donald Trump on Prescription Drugs

If Trump does this one thing that he promised to do in his campaign he will have accomplished more for Health Care in this country than all of the Democrats have done in the past 50 years.

That's right. Because the Democrats have not done anything significant for health care since Medicare.

“We have politicians in charge of our country who are taken care of by special interests. I’ll give you an example- Medicare. We’re the biggest drug buyer in the world. We buy drugs to make people better, all of that’s fine. But we don’t negotiate the price of the drugs. So we’re spending perhaps 300 to 350 billion dollars more for drugs buying from our own drug companies. Now people say how’s that possible, that’s not possible. It’s possible because the drug companies have probably the 2nd or 3rd most powerful lobby in this country. They get the politicians and every one of them is getting money from the drug companies, every single one. You know who’s not? Me.
