Watch: What’s In The White House Plan To Lower Drug Prices

President Donald Trump began talking about the high cost of prescription drugs long before he took office. He often spoke about how drug companies “got away with murder” on the campaign trail.

KHN’s Sarah Jane Tribble breaks it down for CBS News’ “Red & Blue” and explains the real-life consequences.
