President Trump has announced today he plans to reduce U.S. drug prices by 30-80% via an Executive Order, targeting Big Pharma's high costs and profits. U.S. drug prices are significantly higher (up to ten time more in some cases) than in other countries due to, e.g., R&D costs, direct-to-consumer marketing, and pharmacy benefit managers.
