Trump Urges Congress to Pass Major Healthcare Plan
President Donald Trump on Thursday urged Congress to pass what the White House is calling the "Great Healthcare Plan," a sweeping proposal aimed at lowering healthcare costs, reducing prescription drug prices, and cutting insurance premiums.
At the center of the plan is Trump's long-standing push to lower drug prices by ensuring Americans pay no more than patients in other developed countries.
The proposal would codify Trump's most-favored-nation pricing policy, building on actions taken during his first term to lower insulin costs and on recent executive orders that led to voluntary price-cutting agreements with pharmaceutical companies.
