What is President Trump's historic executive order on drug prices?
Great to be here.
OK, so let's start with this prescription drug thing, because this is huge. Like this one's actually really big. Just as a way of history for those who haven't been following this, Trump in his first term tried to take this on. The fact that big pharma won't negotiate with our government, our government won't negotiate with big pharma to protect us on the prices that we have to pay. Trump tried to do it and got sued. He tried to do it just with respect to Medicare. He got sued by Big Pharma and he lost because technically it's Congress's job to negotiate these prices. And so it's a question of constitutional authority. So Big Pharma sued saying you don't have the authority as president to do an end around Congress. And they won because of separations of powers.
