WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Works (AFW) released the following statement applauding President Donald J. Trump’s new executive order to combat unfair drug prices placed on Americans:
“Americans shouldn’t pay a penny more for prescription drugs than citizens of foreign countries do. There is no sound reason why our Nation foots the bill while the rest of the world gets good drug price deals. President Trump’s executive order gets it exactly right. American patients should be able to pay the lowest price that’s offered elsewhere. This is the moment that Americans on both sides of the aisle have been waiting for. Yet, no one in Washington had the courage to take on Big Pharma and deliver reduced drug prices. Thankfully, President Donald J. Trump isn’t like them. He boldly puts us first.”
– Ashley Hayek, President of AFW
