Source: https://democrats.org/

In response to Donald Trump rolling back Biden-Harris administration efforts to lower drug costs for Americans, DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement:

“Donald Trump is already following through on his dangerous plans to jack up the costs of drugs to appease his billionaire backers after the Biden-Haris administration took on Big Pharma and won. Trump is again proving that he lied to the American people and doesn’t care about lowering costs – only what’s best for himself and his ultra-rich friends.”

NEW: Donald Trump signed an executive order rescinding the Biden-Harris order to lower drug costs.

White House: “The following executive actions are hereby revoked: …

“Executive Order 14087 of October 14, 2022 (Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans).”

THE LAST TIME - Nov 29, 2019 -

House Democrats have passed nearly 400 bills. Trump and Republicans are ignoring them, Including bills to reduce perscription costs https://www.vox.com/2019/11/29/20977735/how-many-bills-passed-house-democrats-trump




HERE IS WHAT REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE--ESSENTIALLY MAKELIFE HARDER AND MPORE EXPENSIVE

Republicans have voted at least 70 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act and the protections it guarantees for people with pre-existing medical conditions--Republicans hoped voters would forget they tried to kill Obamacare

Republicans in the House and Senate have just recently proposed hundreds of billions of cuts to the Medicare and Medicaid programs

Trump tried to throw millions of working-poor people off of Medicaid, then, once that failed, deliberately engineered a spike in health-insurance premiums, out of sheer spite.

Trump Proposed a rule allowing companies with less than 250 workers to cease reporting workplace injuries and illness statistics to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) — and removed a list of Americans killed in workplace accidents from OSHA’s home page.

The Trump administration issued a rule last year that allowed short-term plans to last 364 days and to be renewable for three years. These plans DO NOT COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDTIONS AND IN A NUTSHELL ARE THE SAME PLANS FROM 11-12 YEARS AGO--OBAMA LIMITED AMERICAN'S EXPOSURE TO THESE FRAUDLENT POLICIES-- THESE POLICIES OFTEN REFUSED COVERAGE AND HELPED SEND MILLIONS INTO BANKRUPTCY--A SCAM AT BEST

The republican party slashed Funds to facilitate HealthCare.gov sign-ups--in a nutshell, they are no longer letting the public know the time period open enrollment for heatlhcare sidning up--it just ended 13 days ago, in case anyone didnt know that

Trump appointed one Supreme Court justice who had ruled that a trucker could be justly fired for abandoning his broken-down vehicle, instead of honoring his contractual obligation to freeze to death with his cargo, and nominated another who’d found that San Diego SeaWorld could not be held liable in the death of an employee who was killed by a killer whale. (The former pick ended up producing a landmark decision that gutted funding for public-sector unions, in defiance of decades-old precedent.)



HEALTHCARE BILLS DEMOCRATS HAVE WORKED ON

H.R. 987: The Strengthening Health Care and Lowering Prescription Drug Costs Act--The Strengthening Health Care and Lowering Prescription Drug Costs Act was introduced in February 2019. Five Republicans voted for the measure. The bill seeks to lower prescription drug prices, bolster the Affordable Care Act and protect care for those with pre-existing conditions.--Senate Republicans Refuse To Bring It to The Floor For A Vote--It is a Bipartisan bill

H.R. 1520, the Purple Book Continuity Act (bill aimed at lowering the cost of prescription drugs)--database correction and compliance to bring more affordable medications to the market via generics.

H.R. 1503, the Orange Book Transparency Act of 2019 (bill aimed at lowering the cost of prescription drugs)--databases to bring clean up the vast array of information and help consumers target ailments with the correct, most effective and cost efficient perscriptions

Democrats have passed bills to protect preexisting conditions, and condemned the Trump administration’s legal battle to strike down the ACA in the courts

Democrats are fighting for universal coverage of some sort or medicare for all

Democrats promised to defend Medicaid expansion--A New Study Found that 15,000 People Died Because Their State Didn’t Expand Medicaid--15,000 Americans Died So Republican Governors Could Stick It to Obama https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a28472403/15000-americans-died-medicaid-expansion-obamacare/
