The United States — White House announced that President Donald Trump's deals with 17 leading Pharmaceutical companies to lower U.S. prescription drug prices to match those in other countries could save the United States economy $529 billion over the next decade. This policy, dubbed 'most favored nation,' is a central part of Donald Trump's political platform for the upcoming midterm elections. The United States — White House Council of Economic Advisers also estimated $64.3 billion in savings for federal and state governments on United States — Medicaid. However, United States — Democratic Party (United States) lawmakers, including Ron Wyden and Bernie Sanders, have expressed skepticism about the claimed savings and called for greater transparency regarding the undisclosed terms of these agreements. A report from Bernie Sanders' staff highlighted a 66% increase in combined profits for 15 Pharmaceutical companies and noted that tax cuts signed by Donald Trump exempted many expensive drugs from United States — Medicare price negotiations. The United States — Congressional Budget Office had previously estimated a similar plan could reduce drug prices by over 5%.
