Trump and RFK Jr.'s 'MAGA Math'

Trump and RFK Jr.'s 'MAGA Math'

The controversy began when Trump boasted that his policies had sent drug prices plummeting by '600%,' a claim that fact-checkers immediately debunked.

RFK Jr. attempted to rescue the president’s narrative by citing a Congressional Budget Office report, but his explanation only added to the confusion among lawmakers.

The administration is using the 'Most Favored Nation' initiative to pressure manufacturers into lowering costs for Medicaid patients.

Despite the questionable math, the White House announced that Regeneron is the 17th company to commit to the pricing plan, offering a new hearing-loss therapy for free.
