“TrumpRx.gov, cheaper drugs for Americans” - President Trump unveils new website
US President Donald Trump unveiled TrumpRx.gov, a website aimed at providing consumers with access to discounted prescription drugs and a central pillar of his efforts to lower drug prices in the United States.
"People will save a lot of money and be healthy," Trump said.
Sixteen of the largest global drugmakers have reached “most-favored-nation” deals with the Trump administration to lower drug prices for Americans in exchange for tariff exemptions. Under the deals, they will lower prices for the government’s Medicaid program and, through TrumpRx, for cash-paying consumers.
According to STAT News, the website will be powered by prescription drug savings site GoodRx. They reported that TrumpRx will not sell the drugs directly, but will send patients to other sites to purchase them.
It's not yet known how much consumers will save. The website is aimed at consumers looking to buy medications without using insurance, meaning most purchases won't count toward patients' insurance deductibles.
American patients currently pay much more for prescription drugs, often nearly three times more than in other developed countries, and Trump has pressured drugmakers to lower U.S. prices to levels paid abroad.
In addition to obesity drugs, drugs that will be available on the website include Merck's diabetes drug Januvia, Sanofi's blood thinner Plavix, GSK's asthma inhaler Advair Diskus 500/50, Amgen's cholesterol drug Repatha and Gilead's hepatitis C treatment Epclusa.
