US EditionTrump administration to launch TrumpRx website for discounted drugs
TrumpRx links consumers to 16 drug makers aiming to lower U.S. drug prices under the Most Favored Nations policy, focusing on uninsured and cash-paying patients.
- On Thursday evening, President Donald Trump will unveil TrumpRx at 7 p.m., joined by Dr. Mehmet Oz and Joe Gebbia, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced.
- The Most Favored Nations policy underpins TrumpRx, which Trump first previewed in September while announcing more than 15 deals with major drugmakers such as Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Merck.
- The portal will function as a government-hosted clearinghouse, linking consumers to manufacturers' direct-to-consumer websites with at least 16 drug manufacturers participating despite unclear drug availability and pricing.
- Political aides highlighted the announcement amid strong voter concern over healthcare, with the White House claiming the launch will save millions as 34% are somewhat worried and about a third very worried.
- Given delays, officials previously said prices would be shared before year-end, but uncertainty remains whether the platform's prices will undercut insurance coverage for insured Americans, as the late-January launch was delayed.
