Summary

The cost of healthcare is a concern nationwide, but Arkansas is trying to lead the way in bringing price relief to patients, particularly when it comes to prescription drugs. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently signed a new law banning pharmacy benefits managers from owning and operating pharmacies in her state. PBMs are third-party companies that act as intermediaries or middlemen between insurance companies, big pharma, and pharmacies and are supposed to negotiate for lower costs through rebates and discounts. However, President Trump and his administration have recently called them out for helping to drive up the price of drugs in the country. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders joins the Rundown to explain her state’s efforts to get prices down and how she hopes other states and the federal government will follow Arkansas's lead. While the President’s tariff strategy and efforts to reshape what he sees as an unfair trade system have created some uncertainty on both Wall Street and Main Street, the latest jobs data suggest the labor market is holding steady. Many investors took Friday’s May jobs report as a sign that a recession isn’t imminent. However, the housing market, inflation, interest rates, and other factors are still a concern. FOX Business Network's Gerri Willis joins the Rundown to discuss the state of the economy, including why she believes the housing market is under pressure but remains optimistic about the American consumer. Plus, commentary from RNC Youth Advisory Council Chair, Brilyn Hollyhand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
