Trump Announces TrumpRx: Discount Drugs Site Sparks Controversy
President Trump unveiled a comprehensive plan to lower drug costs, including a “TrumpRx” website for discounted medication purchases and an agreement with Pfizer. Pfizer has agreed to offer “Most Favored Nation” pricing in Medicaid, alongside significant price reductions for certain drugs via the new website. The administration also aims to have drug manufacturers sell directly to consumers, but industry experts remain skeptical about the impact. Critics worry these measures could shift prices internationally, raising prices elsewhere while potentially providing limited savings for consumers.
