WASHINGTON, D.C.Independent Women (IW) today issued the following statement by Heather R. Higgins, CEO of Independent Women’s Voice, in support of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order “Delivering Most-Favored-Nation Prescription Drug Pricing to American Patients”:

“We do not have anything remotely resembling a free market in drug prices, medical services, hospital billing, or insurance. Our costs are exorbitant and unfair precisely because of the deliberate lack of transparency and backwards incentives. As a mother, I know that every family – and every business – that worries about healthcare costs will benefit from the transformative regulations that President Trump through his bold Executive Orders is authorizing to put in this year to take effect next and we can’t wait. Thank you, President Trump!”
