Fact-Checking Trump’s Speech to the N.R.A. - News Summed Up

Fact-Checking Trump’s Speech to the N.R.A.


What Trump Said“This year, for the first time in 50 years, drug prices went down.”This is misleading. Multiple analyses have shown that drug prices are still increasing, albeit at a slower pace than in previous years. Rx Savings Solutions, a company that advises employers on how to reduce drug costs, found that drug companies increased prices on more than 2,800 medicines in the first quarter of 2019. But the head of Rx Savings Solutions noted in an interview with PolitiFact that the index does not include high-priced drugs sold through mail order. What Trump Said“We will have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year.”This is exaggerated.
