President Donald Trump on Monday signed a sweeping executive order setting a 30-day deadline for drugmakers to electively lower the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. or face new limits down the road over what the government will pay.
The order calls on the health department, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to broker new price tags for drugs over the next month. If deals are not reached, Kennedy will be tasked with developing a new rule that ties the price the U.S. pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the high prices of pharmaceuticals in the United States and whether Trump’s executive order will have the intended effect.
Plus segments on Trump bypassing Netanyahu to negotiate the release of the last U.S. hostage in Gaza and reports in the Jerusalem Post suggesting that Trump is planning to declare U.S. recognition of an independent Palestinian state.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
