Updated with a small note about how Trump has solved the problem of Big Pharma developing drugs using publicly funded research by eliminating all the grants for medical research. Take that, Big Pharma and parents of kids with cancer!

The reason that Biden's accomplishment was such a big deal, and the reason Republicans do not want Medicare negotiating drug prices, is that insurers tend to follow Medicare. If Medicare only has to pay 7$ for diabetes meds, why does Blue Cross have to pay $300? Medicare has the power to reveal just how much the the for-profit ghouls are over-charging.

Trump's whiny little EO isn't going to do a damn thing. But his cult will crow about it like he personally made cancer drugs free for everyone.
