    Better wording: “Trump says American’s life-preserving drugs could be taxed as high as 250% under his plan.”

      Latest: drugs simply not available anymore as businesses choose not to import.

    Let me guess: deadline hits, insulin suddenly costs 250% more, demand drops, companies don’t see a market, move to the US never happens, congratulations, you played yourself.

      The only way demand drops is when people die… So yah I guess this is about right…

      Demand stays the same, no matter the price. This is why medication costs so much in the USA

        Demand drops because people die.
