One thought on “Trump plans hefty tax on imported drugs, risking higher prices, shortages

  1. In this age of out of control health care costs, I cannot think of a more counter-productive policy than to increase the cost of drugs. I suspect that most people that voted for Trump wanted him to lower prices, not increase them.
