川普Truth原文
For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY??? It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the “suckers” of America, ALONE. Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
參考翻譯
多年來全世界都不解，為什麼美國的處方藥與藥品價格遠高於其他國家？同一家公司、同一實驗室製造的藥品，價格有時竟然高出5到10倍！這問題始終無法解釋，也令人尷尬，因為根本沒有合理的答案。藥廠過去總是用「研發成本」當藉口，而這些成本全由美國人單方面承擔。說白了，就是讓美國人當冤大頭！過去選舉捐款能發揮魔力，但這一招在我這裡沒用，在共和黨這裡也不會奏效。我們要做對的事，這是民主黨多年來都沒做到的。
因此，我很高興宣布：明天上午9點，我將在白宮簽署美國歷史上最具影響力的行政命令之一。根據這項命令，美國的處方藥與藥品價格將立即調降30%至80%。為了達成全球價格平衡，其他國家的藥價將逐步上調。這將是多年來首次真正帶來「藥價公平」！我們將實施「最惠國價格政策」，也就是說，美國將與全世界任何國家中的最低價看齊！從此之後：美國將首次被公平對待；全民的健保支出將大幅下降；美國將節省數兆美元的醫療支出。讓美國再次偉大！
