Trumpâs Drug Pricing Summit: Experts Gag Behind Closed Doors
In a climactic gathering behind closed office doorsâwhich surprisingly did not double as a wellness retreatâexpert big brains convened to dissect Trumpâs most-favored nation drug pricing plan. Congressional staff, presumably armed with note-taking apps and cold coffee, hunkered down to debate policies targeting pharmaceutical sticker shock. The 2020-era proposal aimed to peg U.S. drug prices to lower foreign rates, sparking a summit that felt less like a policy discussion and more like a TED Talk for frustrated policy wonks who haven't slept since 2018. No live tweets emerged, likely because the phrase 'closed doors' translates to 'no memes allowed here.'

Experts locked in 'closed door' strategy sessions about pricingâbecause nothing makes you trust policy like a masquerade of secrecy.
