28 April 2020 - More than one-third of U.S. adults believe that prescription drug prices have increased a lot since 2017, the first year of the Trump administration, and only 7% think prices have dropped at all, a new poll finds.
Consequently, 65% of Americans say the administration has not made very much progress or no progress at all in limiting the rising cost of medicines.
The vast majority of Democrats and independents — 81% and 70%, respectively — believed that drug prices rose a little or a lot, while only 47% of Republicans shared that view.
