President Donald Trump said on Nov. 22 that he and Secretary of the Department of Health & Human Services Alex Azar, will soon release a plan that will enable Florida and other states to import affordable drugs.

“SecAzar and I will soon release a plan to let Florida and other States import prescription drugs that are MUCH CHEAPER than what we have now! Hard-working Americans don’t deserve to pay such high prices for the drugs they need. We are fighting DAILY to make sure this HAPPENS...,” Trump said in a Tweet, adding that his administration will soon put more options on the table.
