Having said that...IF he will follow through on that is another story. I'm sure that you would probably say he won't. And me? I don't know if he will or he won't.
BUT...then you have the problem of Congress. With all of the lobbyists from health care companies spending money by the hundreds of millions...it becomes a conundrum.
IF Trump were to really go after this, then he could take his case to the people. Via Twitter and big rallys across the country.
And if he did it "his way" and called out the Congressmen and Senators who won't vote to stop the price gouging...THEN he could impact change.
Because then they would fear for their re-election (which is the name of the game to the bureaucrats in D.C.: Power).
I think that would be the only way. Because otherwise, these Senators and Representatives depend on Big Pharma and the Health industry for campaign money.
Last thing they want is a ton of negative ads against them in their home states funded by Big Insurance, Big Pharma, and Big Hospital Corporations.
Trump could negate that by going "Full-Trump" on Twitter and at rallys.
And that could persuade them that their re-election depends on changing the current situation.
Other than that...I can't think of anything.
Any other President would NEVER go after it because they would be too beholden to their party apparatus.
Trump doesn't care. He actually campaigned AGAINST the RNC just as much as he did against the DNC.
He literally is a unicorn that we haven't seen in our lifetimes as far as potential to affect real change.
Now whether he does it or not is up for debate. And whether people LIKE what he does is also political debate fodder.
I"m just saying...he actually COULD do something that nobody else ever could before.

that is a very complicated way to do it. if trump would have a 5% knowledge of world economy there would be a far easier way to resolve that problem.
but the point is that with this solution ALL that trump have ever said about globalism and economy would be seen as the bad idea what it actually is.
the way to control that costs from the pharma is just to IMPORT them from the countries where they are 20 times cheaper. the competition makes the price !
but as trump voters want to get all back to US they also have to pay 20 times higher price on the pharma products.
medical care in hospitals - also easy - let asians open hospitals in USA and you will see how the price goes down. if you have ever seen hospitals in thailand (like the bangkok hospital group) you would not want to go to a US-hospital anymore. and they are doing a GREAT job with the most modern equipment and the best medicals you can imagine.
well - yes itīs a dream because not one of the trump supporters including himself understand to use the ADVANTAGES of a global market - they are just making the global market guilty for their own mistakes.
