President Donald Trump increases Medicare Drug costs!!

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump decided to throw a wrench in the works by revoking former President Joe Biden’s executive order 14087. This order was actually trying to do something good – lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans, especially those on Medicare Part D. But who needs affordable medication, right?

Let’s take a look at what Biden’s executive order was all about:

First up, we had the Medicare $2 drug list model. This little gem was meant to keep certain generic drug prices at a measly $2 for Medicare beneficiaries. How dare they try to make medication affordable for those who need it most?

Then there was the cell and gene therapy access model. This one was all about making high-cost therapies more accessible for Medicaid recipients. Negotiating pricing and facilitating coverage? Outrageous!

Last but not least, we had the accelerating clinical evidence model. This bad boy was focused on getting effective treatments out there faster by streamlining the evidence-gathering process for new drugs. Who needs efficiency when you can have sky-high drug prices instead?

In his executive order back in 2022, Biden had the audacity to say that too many Americans struggle to pay for their prescription drugs. Imagine that! Americans paying two to three times more than people in other countries for the same medications? Shocking, I know.

But fear not, because President Trump is here to save the day! He’s already working hard to make sure drug prices go through the roof, all to keep his billionaire buddies happy. Who cares about the average American struggling to afford their medication when you can cater to the ultra-rich, right?

So, kudos to Trump for showing us once again where his priorities lie. Who needs affordable healthcare when you can have a president looking out for himself and his wealthy pals? Bravo, Mr. President, bravo.

Senior citizens who voted for Trump…enjoy your higher drug prices. You got what you voted for!!!
