I Prayed have prayed
Father, we thank You for this executive order. We pray it would make critical, lifesaving medication available to all who need it.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

For years, Americans have struggled to pay premium prices for lifesaving medications, all while other nations received the same drugs for lower prices. With President Trump’s newest executive order, however, that will soon change.

From The Daily Wire. President Donald Trump on Monday morning signed an executive order to significantly reduce pharmaceutical drug prices for Americans.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

The directive, Trump stressed, will bring fairness to Americans and cut out ā€œthe middlemenā€ to bring prices down so citizens will start to pay prices comparable to other developed nations. …

By implementing a policy called ā€œMost Favored Nation,ā€ Trump said the U.S. is ā€œgonna pay the lowest price there is in the world. We’re no longer paying ten times more than another country.ā€

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was with Trump at a press conference on Monday morning, said that other nations, particularly those in the European Union, must chip in for research and development. Kennedy said raising their prices by just 20% would dramatically reduce costs in the United States.

Trump teased the executive order Sunday night on Truth Social, saying it would reduce prices by up to 80%.

During Trump’s first term, he introduced a regulation for certain cancer drugs and others to be the same price as they were abroad. The Biden administration, however,Ā abandoned the regulation after a court struck it down on procedural grounds. …

The order follows another directive signed by Trump on May 5, which seeks to reduce the regulatory burden on the domestic production of critical medicines. …

God bless the president for looking out for benefits of the citizens, especially the elderly. We should be equal or above other nations in scientific research and cost.

I think the prices should be 1/3 to 1/4 of what they used to be, but to be as low as the most impoverished nation, I don’t know. I believe a ten dollar RX could be cut in half also to make it five dollars. Of course if you have ten or twelve prescriptions even that could be difficult for some people. Lord, thy will be done regarding our health care system and prescription drugs.

Maybe this will work if activist judges and those with Trump Derangement Syndrom will stay out of way so it can get fixed. American lives mean nothing to their agenda. I trust in God. šŸ™šŸ˜‡šŸ™

I think that is a great step for the American people not to pay more than necessary. I will pray that the insurance companies will also be dealt with. I trust that premiums will be lower, and it will no longer be in the hands of the insurance companies to determine if a person needs the surgery or not; I trust it will be put back into the hands of the doctor and patients.

I pray and I am very grateful and thankful for all the good that is coming forth as a result of the hard work of the Trump administration.. I am hopeful that all the Glory, Honor and Praise will be given to the One True Living God, who is the One responsible for all this goodness we have and are being blessed with. None of this has been done by man-power alone, but by the Power of Holy Spirit working through these individuals, whom God has anointed to work for His Will, Plans and Purposes to be accomplished for His America and our America and its citizens.

This is a rather bold, yet necessary move on the part of president Trump.. Lord Jesus, I thank You that we have a President that has the interests of the everyday people as a priority. I pray that this Executive Order will bear fruit. Big Pharma has ripped off the people in this nation for far too long. I pray , Lord, that this is only a beginning of greater things to come to pass in our nation. Thank you Jesus.

Great! Now make it into law and remove the liability protections from pharma corporations so that they are liable for all their products including vaccines when they harm, maim, and kill people!

And, Lord, may your grace and favor guide Trump’s appointment of Dr. Casey Means as Surgeon General. May she and her brother, Calley, continue to uncover and stop the evil intentions of big pharma companies who push for addictions rather than a life style and natural foods that help heal our bodies. (I encourage all to watch Tucker Carlson’s interview with them found at https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/1824502384254693487?s=57). It is a real eye opener!

This really touched me personally because I take meds myself and it’s ridiculous to rob people of medications when don’t take but a fraction to make, I’m glad that President Donald Trump stood up to them. Thank You God.

In addition to cutting prices on pharmaceuticals, I pray that the domestic production of critical medicines would increase exponentially. That is not something for which we want to be dependent on other nations. Thank You Lord for each victory!!

    Medicines made in China should be embargoed and kept out of the USA. China could be slowly poisoning Americans with their “medicines”; this is exactly what Beijing wants!

    I’m adding to my comment, because I want to encourage everyone to watch/listen to the Headline News prayer call from today. Joyce, Rich and Elizabeth all brought a depth of insight into these issues that opened my eyes to other possible ramifications of this EO, and strategies for intercession in regard to all of these articles. For example, this reduction in pharmaceutical prices could impact the illegal drug trade as well as the legal trade. It was also a reminder to pray for as much healing and deliverance from disease and ill health through other means as possible. Drug dependence is bondage, and addiction is death.

Thank You, Lord for someone with the courage to do what is right and needed instead of appeasing the status quo and putting big pharma’s interests before those of the average citizen. Trump has sacrificed a lot to fight the good fight for freedom and less government intervention in our private lives. The private sector needs to increase and government needs to decrease which would mean a corresponding decrease in taxes which fund all these government programs which we become dependent on but with less taxes we could afford to take care of ourselves rather than depend on government. We were created as free beings in God’s image – dependence on government enslaves us. God’s truth sets us free! http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

    Hopefully the prescription benefit managers (PBM’s) who do nothing to benefit the public while their salaries get tacked on the cost of prescription medicine go away. Americans want fair pricing for any product. Unnecessary “overhead” costs on medicines such as PBM’s have to go. Who is behind these “PBM’s”? Insurance companies sticking the public with the bill for more overhead? The politicians don’t care. Pres. Trump cares.

I have a 92 year old mother with atrial fibrillation who is fighting the system for the drug Eliquis. This drug costs up to over $1,000 per month. This is a disgrace. This drug is just one of many that our people are being taken advantage of…for example insulin. I am thrilled to see this EO as things have got to change. It is heartbreaking to see people having to choose between eating or their medications.

    This is absolutely true. My husband is a medicare salesman and he encounters people like this all the time- having to cost between medications and food. This is a disgrace in the United States of America. Thank you God, for changing it and revealing ways that the world has been taking advantage of us. Please continue to do so.

    Amen to that! I take Eliquis and am on a fixed income. Sometimes, if my refill date does not coincide with my pension date, I have to scramble to scrape up the money, even with health insurance in place!

Thank you so much President Trump. I’m on two insulins. And they are so expensive plum I’m on several other meds which are not cheap at all. By the time I pay for all these meds I can barely afford groceries. I have voted for you since 2016 because I truly believe in you

    My husband has TBI, COPD, & Heart disease.
    I am a stroke survivor.
    Our S.S. & his small pension is all that we have to live on.
    We can only afford to pay the bare minimum to pay for our meds, & all of our Dr’s bills.
    We seem to raise our Dr. bills every month. 😠 😔
    Help w/our scripts would make our lives so much easier.
    God bless, & keep President Trump.
