Trump's Medicare drug negotiations delivered massive $12 billion in savings with bold leadership that crushed Big Pharma's price gouging. The administration achieved 44% price cuts compared to Biden's weak 22% reductions last year. Real results like Ozempic dropping to $274 monthly prove Trump's team fights harder for seniors than previous failed efforts.
Trump's drug price announcement was a rushed publicity stunt that actually delivered worse deals than existing agreements. The administration quietly released results at 6 p.m. without press events, hiding that negotiated prices were higher than voluntary deals already secured. Medicare beneficiaries got shortchanged with $276 Ozempic versus the $245 price already available.
