Lower Drug Costs: A new executive order signed by President Trump promises to lower prescription drug costs. 

The executive order calls for drugmakers to lower prices to align with what other countries pay. The order, signed by the President on Monday gives drugmakers 30 days to make meaningful efforts or changes to reach lower price goals.

The George Washington University has experts available to comment on lowering the cost of prescription drugs. If you are interested in scheduling an interview with a GW expert please contact Katelyn Deckelbaum, katelyn.deckelbaum@gwu.edu.
