EO them. He does it for everything else.

I'm sure the SCOTUS will ignore Property Rights and Precedent if Dear Leader tells them to.

So?

I was at the pharmacy just the other day, picking up a couple of the numerous drugs I take daily. When I mentioned to the pharmacist that I was ready for my paycheck from all the price cuts and the meds I was ingesting, and our Dotard's promises of 600% price reductions, he was not amused. I cannot understand why not...

They don't explain why those specific drugs are the chosen to increase 4% in pricing. One is a Covid treatment!? Why those? What about their labs, supply chain or administrative costs have marked those most needed medications? Just to manufacture profit while holding a gun to the publics head?

Cancer has a cure.

So does extortion.
