DRUGS/HEALTHCARE/TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDERS: “The four orders that I’m signing today will completely restructure the prescription drug market…

The first order will require federal community health centers to pass the giant discounts they receive from drug companies on insulin and EpiPens directly to their patients…

The second executive order… will finally allow the safe and legal importation of prescription drugs from Canada and other countries where the price for the identical drug is incredibly lower…

The third revolutionary order I’m signing today will prevent middlemen — and women, I guess — but you’ve heard about the middleman, right?…

The fourth and final order I’m signing today — this is the granddaddy of them all — will end global freeloading on the backs of American patients and American seniors.”
