I want a cap on pharmacy costs. Everyone else in the world does this and we pay for it.
I want free healthcare. I will pay some more in taxes to eliminate health insurance.

The one area that I actually do with Trump is for Medicare to negotiate for drugs.
While I disagree on the universal healthcare system (I noticed Colorado rejected a state-run universal system by a big margin), I do agree with you on the pharmacy costs. The US shouldn't subsidized both the bulk of the world's Pharma/Biotech R&D (I'll have to check again, but I believe the US accounts for 75% of the world's R&D spending) and their drug prices. If other countries need to pay more to cover the difference in a drop here in the US, so be it.
I think there are little things that can be do to attack and reduce the costs in the system itself.
