TRUMP UNVEILS TRUMPRX.GOV – It is a website to offer consumers access to discounted prescription medicines
U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled TrumpRx.gov, a website to offer consumers access to discounted prescription medicines and a central pillar of his efforts to lower drug prices in the United States. The website was live as of past midnight UK time.
Trump announced the new website at a White House event alongside Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz and National Design Studio Director and Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia. “People are going to save a lot of money and be healthy,” Trump said.
Sixteen of the largest global drugmakers have struck “most-favored nation” deals with the Trump administration to cut drug prices for Americans in exchange for exemptions from U.S. tariffs. Under those agreements they will lower prices for the government’s Medicaid program and, via TrumpRx, to cash-paying consumers. Those deals include agreements with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to slash the prices of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs. The government has also said these would reduce prices to between $149 and $350 a month on average for Americans.
Reportedly, the website will be powered by prescription drug savings site GoodRx. But TrumpRx will not sell the drugs directly but rather send patients to other sites to buy the medicines.
