President Trump claimed to have cut drug prices by as much as 1,500%, a statement that is mathematically impossible. Experts highlight that a reduction of more than 100% would imply patients are paid to take medications. Although the Trump administration has taken steps to reduce prescription drug prices, there is no substantial evidence confirming such drastic decreases. White House officials reiterated that Americans pay significantly more for drugs compared to other developed nations, but additional proof from the administration regarding the claimed price cuts was not provided.
Cutting drug prices by more than 100% would theoretically mean that people are being paid to take medications.
There’s no indication costs have seen such a massive drop. Geoffrey Joyce called Trump's claim total fiction made up by the Republican president.
I find it really difficult to translate those numbers into some actual estimates that patients would see at the pharmacy counter.
It's an objective fact that Americans are paying exponentially more for the same exact drugs as people in other developed countries pay.
