Senator Bernie Sanders has released a report showing that the prices of nearly 700 prescription drugs have increased despite a pledge by President Trump to lower them. Back in July, Trump signed an executive order to lower prescription drug prices and sent letters to 17 pharmaceutical companies giving them 60 days to act. But Senator Sanders found that drug prices have increased under Trump. For example, the drug Galzin has increased more than 15-fold in price, from $5,400 per year to $88,800 per year. According to Senator Sanders’s report, “87 drugs increased in price after Trump sent letters to drug manufacturers.”
