Didn't see this coming but it's great article and bold move!!! I've never seen a President take on big pharma.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said Wednesday the Trump administration has finalized regulations requiring drug companies to disclose list prices of medications costing more than $35 for a month’s supply.
Drug companies responded that adding prices to their commercials could unintentionally harm patients.
But one major firm — Johnson & Johnson, based in New Brunswick, New Jersey — has already started disclosing the cost of its blood thinner Xarelto in TV advertising. And polls indicate many patients are not taking their medications as prescribed because of cost.
- Hopefully there are no loopholes, but I'm looking forward to seeing the ad that ends with "starting at $7,999 a month!".zarkonite
