Trump said he was going to cut prescriptions by 1600 percent.
Someone I know, WITH additional top line prescription insurance, just paid 2100 for her ONE MONTH supply of Cancer Rx......(The LIST price was 21,000 dollars for a one month Rx).......She was on another cancer drug previously for five years, and her cost, after insurance was 100 dollars a pill, and she had to take one a day........
