Congress should decide on the end if the law is passed on to lower drug prices. If they do so, the cases of Great Pharma are likely to follow.
The pharmaceutical industry argues the cost of research and development of new drugs, but the President is correct that other companies, and sold to other countries, and sold to other countries less than Americans pay.

It is an annoyance that Americans pay for the courts of the courts of the courts of the courts of the courts in the world. week. “
What a headline: Sanders and Trump agree with each other. Talk about “Extreme Bedfellows.”
