Trump's Purely Potemkin Posturing for Political Purpose
Trump signs executive orders aimed at lowering drug prices in largely symbolic move
The orders are unlikely to take effect anytime soon, if they do so at all
Experts said most of the proposals cannot be implemented via executive order.
Instead, the administration must complete the rulemaking process, which could
take months or years, said Rachel Sachs, an associate professor of law at
Washington University in St. Louis.
bodysong question- Is Trump's magical executive order a stupid and dangerous one ?/end question
Drug companies have pushed back fiercely on that proposal, arguing there is “no way to
guarantee the safety of drugs that come into the country from outside the United States’
gold-standard supply chain.”
“The administration’s proposal today is a reckless distraction that impedes our ability
to respond to the current pandemic — and those we could face in the future.”
- Steve Ubl, president and chief executive of PhRMA, the largest drug industry trade group
One advocacy group pushing lower drug prices panned the orders as an empty
political gesture shortly after Trump’s signing ceremony.
