As the saying goes, only Nixon could go to China. Perhaps only Donald Trump can bring down drug prices in the United States.
While President Barack Obama, and Democrats in general, have made reducing drug prices a core principal of their policy and political agendas, by all accounts, they have been unsuccessful. Obamacare — despite the empty promises made by President Obama and Congressional Democrats — has made no real improvements in the cost of medications. In fact, in the United States, average yearly spending on drugs is more than $1,000 per person.
