Statements
Mike Collins
Health care and insurance costs
What we need to do is make sure that there is more transparency. We need to make sure that people pay a fair price for drugs. That’s drugs. The Trump RX is doing a great job with that. You also need to make sure that we’re most favored nation status with pricing.
