Trump proposals could increase health costs for consumers
21 January 2019 - President Trump has repeatedly vowed to reduce drug prices and to lower out-of-pocket drug costs, but the latest proposal could have the opposite effect for some consumers.
Consumers who use expensive brand-name prescription drugs when cheaper alternatives are available could face higher costs under a new policy being proposed by the Trump administration.
The proposal, to be published this week in the Federal Register, would apply to health insurance plans sold under the Affordable Care Act.
