An executive order that has no enforcement power whatsoever.

Notice how your link isn't about an executive order, it's an actual law that actually did it something tangible...

Those executive orders only ordered the HHS to make recommendations to Congress...

See the part with the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress? Laws are necessary for powers and that's where the budget and enforcement powers are.

The POTUS doesn't have the power to just dictate drug prices whenever they want on their own. It's not rocket science how the US government works.

From the link you provided: >On August 16, 2022, I signed Public Law 117-169, commonly referred to as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA), which will lower the cost of prescription drugs and save millions of Americans hundreds or thousands of dollars per year. The IRA will protect Medicare beneficiaries from catastrophic drug costs by phasing in a cap for out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy and establishing a $35 monthly cap per prescription for insulin covered by a Medicare prescription drug plan and insulin delivered through traditional pumps.

You do know that Biden put it on hold while it was reviewed, and instead the Democrats put their own version through that covered more people, right? Trump's version only covered his voting base.

It was frozen so they could assess costs and impact, and then they redid it better.

For some reason, Trump supporters always overlook that part.

That's your claim, right? I didn't see you post any sources for it, but others have posted sources to counter your statement here. It would take ten seconds to prove apparently, so why didn't you prove it

The burden of proof is on the claimant, friend
