President Trump claims he's preparing an executive order on drug prices.
"We're working on a favored nations clause, where we pay whatever the lowest nation's price is," remarked the president. "Why should other nations — like Canada — why should other nations pay less than us?"
The president's proposal might seem appealing, but it's really just another excuse to enact government price controls.
Price controls are the wrong approach; they will stunt drug innovation and restrict patient access to new cures.
