Dr. Oz: Trump's Tariffs Promise More Expensive Prescriptions

Dr. Oz, Trump's unqualified Administrator of Medicare admitted to Margaret Brennan on CBS' Face the Nation that Americans will pay more for medications and prescription drugs because of Trump's economic and tariff policies.

Oz said straight out, "Everyone has to pay a little more," for medications which is the opposite that Trump told the country during the election.

And it's all due to his insane yo-yo tariffs.

BRENNAN: I want to start on drug costs. The president put this 25% tariff on India. Big drug producer. The president's trade deal with the EU puts a 15% tariff on imported medicines from Europe.

How do you stop the drug makers from passing along those costs to people on Medicare and Medicaid?

OZ: Well, the president's letter on Thursday for most favored nation pricing is a good example of that. And he's been working on this tirelessly since the first administration.

Who knew a Trump letter would solve the pricing issues? A fucking letter? Idiots.

OZ: And just to put this in context for many of the viewers, about 2 thirds of bankruptcies in America are caused by health care expenses. About a third of people, when they go to the pharmacy, they leave empty handed. They can't afford the medication.

That's what Obamacare eliminated, asshole. You can't go bankrupt from medical costs any longer because of the ACA. The very bill Republicans have been trying to destroy for fifteen years. .
