Jimmy Dore: 特朗普签署行政命令大幅降低药价，这本该在几十年前就发生。美国政府不允许与制药公司谈判药品价格，这非常腐败。制药公司可以随意向医疗保险收取高价，有时比其他国家高出200%到400%。特朗普要求制药公司自愿降价，否则将参照其他国家的价格。问题不在于欧洲，而在于我们腐败的政府允许制药公司行贿。美国药价高昂不是欧洲的错，而是因为我们没有全民医保。拜登政府谈判的药品价格仍然远高于其他国家。我们的政府非常腐败，特朗普是唯一可能解决这个问题的人。新闻媒体没有关注特朗普的药价改革，而是关注一个无关紧要的飞机问题。美联社淡化了特朗普药价改革的影响。特朗普的药价改革计划与削减医疗补助的计划同时发布。美国有一半人口享受政府提供的医疗保险。制药公司声称降低药价会影响新药研发，并指责其他国家是社会主义国家。制药公司就像黑手党一样，威胁说会制造危险的药物。特朗普曾试图降低药价，但遭到法院阻止。特朗普威胁要调查制药公司，并开放美国药品市场。特朗普政府将与制药公司会面，商讨基于其他国家价格的新药价。 Donald Trump: 美国将不再补贴其他国家的医疗保健，我们将结束制药公司的暴利行为。欧盟对制药公司非常严厉，我们将降低药价，实现公平。药价将大幅下降，降幅可能在59%到90%之间。药品价格将大幅下降，民主党人很难反对。民主党人会找借口反对，声称会影响研究。卡塔尔想送美国一架飞机，我应该接受。这不是给我的礼物，而是给国防部的礼物。当别人给你一个机会时，你应该抓住它。 RFK Jr.: 特朗普兑现了其他政客未能兑现的承诺，敢于对抗医药寡头。美国人口占世界4.2%，但医药收入却占全球的75%。美国药品人均支出远高于欧洲，制药公司声称美国必须为创新买单。特朗普要求欧洲提高药价，分担创新成本。如果欧洲提高药价，将有更多资金用于全球健康创新。我从未想过能看到这一天，特朗普愿意为美国人民挺身而出。

Shownotes Transcript

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a sweeping executive order setting a 30-day deadline for drugmakers to electively lower the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. or face new limits down the road over what the government will pay.

The order calls on the health department, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to broker new price tags for drugs over the next month. If deals are not reached, Kennedy will be tasked with developing a new rule that ties the price the U.S. pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the high prices of pharmaceuticals in the United States and whether Trump’s executive order will have the intended effect.

Plus segments on Trump bypassing Netanyahu to negotiate the release of the last U.S. hostage in Gaza and reports in the Jerusalem Post suggesting that Trump is planning to declare U.S. recognition of an independent Palestinian state.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
