21:09Now PlayingHe Lied! Trump Promised Lower Drug Prices. 850 Drugs Just Went Up
Trump guaranteed Americans would pay less for prescription drugs. Instead, prices rose on more than 850 medications, hitting families, seniors, and patients where it hurts most.
More than 850 prescription drugs just increased in price by at least 4 percent, despite Donald Trump’s promise that Americans would soon be paying less. Panelists detail how these hikes hit life-sustaining medications, seniors on fixed incomes, and working families already struggling to afford basic care. The discussion connects rising drug costs to broader policy failures, trade decisions, and deliberate attacks on affordable healthcare. The result is a worsening affordability crisis with disproportionate harm to Black communities and the most vulnerable patients.
🔥 More than 850 drugs are seeing price hikes of 4% or more, including critical medications.
🔥 Trump promised lower drug prices just weeks earlier. The opposite happened.
🔥 Panelists describe an affordability crisis crushing patients, seniors, and working families.
🔥 Rising costs expose systemic failures in healthcare policy and accountability.
