The Spin

Trump's Medicare drug negotiations have delivered massive $12 billion in savings, withdriven by 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 works to improve America's health care system and fights harder for seniors than previous failed efforts.

The Epoch Times

Trump's drug price announcement was a rushed publicity stunt that actually delivered worse deals than existing agreements. TheHe administration quietly released the results at 6 p.m.., without press events, hidingand hid that negotiated prices were higher than the voluntary deals already secured. Medicare beneficiaries gotwere shortchanged withby $276 for Ozempic, versuscompared to the $245 price already available. These negotiated prices are designed to avoid attention.
