A conservative group paints Trump’s drug pricing experiment as ‘Socialist.’ Is it?
22 July 2019 - As part of its effort to curb high prescription drug costs, the Trump administration is considering an experiment that has triggered strong opposition from Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist’s powerful conservative organisation, which the president typically counts among his supporters.
One of the most visible elements of the group’s battle plan is a nationwide commercial, on which it has spent almost half a million dollars, according to estimates by ad tracker iSpot.tv. It has been on the air since May.
The Americans for Tax Reform’s ad begins with President Donald Trump saying, “America will never be a socialist country.”
