US Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has publicly defended his claim about a 600% drop in drug prices, responding to a Democratic senator who said such a drop was mathematically impossible. Kennedy explained that if a drug's price rose from $100 to $600, that is a 600% increase, and therefore a drop from $600 back to $100 constitutes a 600% savings. This statement follows his recent discussion with President Donald Trump on the administration's drug pricing initiatives.
