White House releases economic analysis of Trump's pharmaceutical pricing deals
White House economists released projections estimating that President Trump's deals with pharmaceutical companies to align U.S. drug prices with international levels could save $529 billion economy-wide over 10 years, with $64.3 billion in combined federal and state Medicaid savings. The analysis, obtained by AP, provides the first detailed economic backing for a policy Trump is promoting ahead of midterm elections. Democratic lawmakers have expressed skepticism about the savings figures.
