It just required a lot of willpower from the president. And what he did, I saw it personally.

And predictably, all the pharmaceutical companies said, you know what, you're right, that is fundamentally unfair, the Europeans are going to pay a little bit more, Americans are going to pay much less, a major accomplishment.
