Trump to un­veil pro­pos­al to re­duce prices on doc­tor-ad­min­is­tered drugs as midterms loom

Days away from a con­tentious midterm elec­tion bat­tle, the Trump ad­min­is­tra­tion is once again at­tempt­ing to throw its weight at ex­or­bi­tant drug prices, a hot but­ton is­sue the pres­i­dent has long ral­lied against but has so far done lit­tle about.

DC-based POLITI­CO re­port­ed last night that Trump is set to un­veil a pro­pos­al that would make sweep­ing changes to how Medicare pays for some drugs in a speech to the HHS on Thurs­day af­ter­noon, which some see as a ploy to dis­tract away from the Re­pub­li­can agen­da to over­haul Oba­macare.
