New website to offer ways to 'bypass costly middlemen' and give U.S. consumers access to prices in line 'with those paid by other nations'
By Bob Unruh
President Donald Trump is signing a new executive order that specifically is expected to bring down the costs of prescription drugs for Americans.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt explained that the order "will help bypass costly middlemen and bring the prices Americans pay for prescription drugs in line with those paid by other nations."
The order is the result of a "historic" deal with Pfizer "to slash drug prices," reports Tuesday confirmed.
The announcement said now Pfizer "is committing to offer" all of the company's prescription medications to Medicaid at the prices also paid by its "most favored nations."
In addition to Medicaid, all consumers also are expected to benefit through access to those medications.
A report at the Washington Examiner explained the result will be a direct-to-consumer website for Americans to purchase their medications.
