Report Finds Drug Prices Rising Despite Trump Pricing Deals
Summary: A new report from Senator Bernie Sanders shows that prescription drug prices are still going up. This is happening even after President Trump made deals to lower them. On average, new drugs now cost about $353,000 a year! For example, a cancer drug named Keytruda costs $210,000 in the U.S. but only $37,900 in Japan. Some new gene treatments cost over $2.5 million for just one dose. Drug companies made $177 billion in profit last year. Experts say the government's deals aren't really helping patients save money at the pharmacy yet.
