Yeah, except for the minor detail that none of them are done yet. They all would need to go through the HHS rule-making process which kicks the can past the election.
Some of the measures Trump was ridiculing as recently as 6 months ago.
Remember he campaigned on letting Medicare negotiate drug prices in 2016. After the election he had one - one! - meeting with drug lobbyists and exited parroting their line about 'we can't have government set drug prices'.
This is a cheap election ploy.

His epic flip-flop happened within 2 weeks of inauguration. He sounded like Bernie on January 11th, taking 3% off the price of pharma stocks with a single press conference.
20 days later her walked out of a meeting with Pharma lobbyists parroting their talking points.

And the bottom line is that something people have talked about for years, gets done.
He hasn't done it, he's Tweeted about it.
Somebody here once said to ignore what they say, and look at what they do.

Yes, and all Democrat politicians are altruistic at heart and have never done anything political, even though it actually helped people.
GMAFB.
Again, tell me why Obama didn't do this?

Yep. And I've also said some people are all hat and no cattle. Some people can effect no change at all, even if they try. Yet, they can constantly belittle people who are actually trying to accomplish something.
Know anybody like that?
