Trump signs healthcare executive order that includes a win for pharma companies [View all]
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-signs-healthcare-executive-order-that-includes-win-pharma-companies-2025-04-15/WASHINGTON, April 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump directed his health department on Tuesday to work with Congress on revamping a law that allows Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, seeking to introduce a change the pharmaceutical industry has lobbied for.
Drugmakers have been pushing to delay the timeline under which medications become eligible for price negotiations by four years for small molecule drugs, which are primarily pills and account for most medicines.
