American
Racketeering 

Conservative groups write letter opposing Trump move to lower drug prices

A coalition of 55 conservative groups has written a letter calling on the Trump administration to withdraw a proposal to lower drug prices, warning of creating "price controls." 
The proposal Trump announced in October would lower prices for some drugs paid for by Medicare by tying the price to lower prices in other countries. The idea received some praise from Democrats, who also called for stronger steps, but is far different than the proposals usually favored by Republicans to let the market work out prices on its own. 
The letter warns that the administration's proposal "imports foreign price controls into the U.S.
DYI:  These 55 groups are nothing less than monopolistic racketeers.  Couching all of their language with free enterprise catch phrases [propaganda] in an attempt to maintain their lock on drug prices instead of real free market attributes the likes of transparent price discovery.  This industry has a special exemption from Congress – that is polar opposite of the Clayton, Robinson-Patman, and Sherman Anti-Trust Acts – against re-importation of ethical drugs thus assuring their lock on prices. This and so many other areas of our economy have State sponsored command economy that is illegal under 100+ year old anti-trust laws.  Allow for re-importation prices would fall – depending upon the drug – from 60% to 90%.

And by the way since this activity is illegal [before mentioned acts] these 55 organization could and should be brought to task for openly advocating the continued criminal activity up to indictment as co-conspirators.  This is not a 1st amendment issue as they are openly and brazenly attempting to influence the President of the United States to continue the pharmaceutical industries racketeering.
