Executive Order 13948: Most Favored Nation Drug Pricing
President Trump signed Executive Order 13948 on September 13, 2020, directing the Department of Health and Human Services to allow Medicare to pay no more for drugs than the lowest price paid in other developed countries. The order applied to a subset of Medicare Part B drugs. As of 2021, the rule was blocked by federal courts before implementation, preventing direct Medicare price changes for most drugs covered under the order.
