This EO prompted a government-wide effort to help lower prices, raise wages, and encourage innovation. And one year in, we’re extraordinarily proud of the progress we’ve made.

They have locked [blocked] megamergers in the insurance and sugar industries, and stopped a defense contractor megamerger that would’ve cost taxpayers billions of dollars. In just a few months, Americans with hearing loss will be able to buy hearing aids over the counter at a — at a drug store, instead of requiring a prescription, which could save them thousands of dollars.”
