HHS Secretary on emergency room visits: You as the patient should never get a surprise bill
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on the Trump administration's efforts to end surprise medical bills and Gilead Sciences' deal with the White House to donate the HIV prevention medication Truvada for up to 200,000 people a year potentially through 2030.
Gilead Sciences, the maker of HIV prevention drug Truvada, is sending the United States a very big gift. It will be donating enough supply to support Trump’s initiative that seeks to eliminate transmission of the virus within the next decade.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar believes this is where having President Trump as “the deal master in charge” bears fruit for taxpayers.
“We've got a team here that's really focused on how can we deliver ... this agenda that the president has set out to end the HIV epidemic in the United States within the next 10 years,” he explained to FOX Business’ Stuart Varney on Friday. “And as part of that, a key part of that, is for people who are at risk of contracting HIV, they need to be on this drug called PrEP.”
