From the post:

>Drugmakers plan to raise U.S. prices on at least 350 branded medications including vaccines against COVID, RSV and shingles and blockbuster cancer treatment Ibrance, even as the Trump administration pressures them for cuts, according to data provided exclusively by healthcare research firm 3 Axis Advisors. The number of price increases for 2026 is up from the same point last year, when drugmakers unveiled plans for raises on more than 250 drugs. The median of this year's price hikes is around 4% - in line with 2025.

I'm guessing this is their play: They want Trump to apply a huge tax/penalty on these companies so that they can shut down their US manufacturing and blame it on "unfavorable market conditions" and then open their factories in China, or some other hostile country, so that they can restrict drug access to the U.S.A.
