United States President Donald Trump launched a new website, ‘TrumpRx.gov’, to help Americans directly buy over 40 prescription drugs at discounted prices, in a move aimed at addressing the cost-of-living and affordability crisis, the White House said.
According to the White House fact sheet on the service, patients in the US will be able to “access large discounts on many of the most popular and highest-priced medicines in the country”, at prices which are “in line with the lowest paid by other developed nations (known as the most-favored-nation, or MFN, price)”.
Notably, this move comes ahead of the US mid-term Congressional elections set for November this year, amid widespread challenges facing the Republican party.
TrumpRx.gov — What did Donald Trump say?
Speaking to reporters at the White House on 5 February, Donald Trump said that “dozens of the most commonly used prescription drugs will be available at dramatic discounts for all consumers” through the new website, effective immediately, Bloomberg reported.
At his side during the announcement were Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, and government design chief Joe Gebbia, it added.
According to Trump over 40 medicines are available for purchase on the website, including Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Wegovy at $199. He added that pharma major EMD Serono would “dramatically cut the cost of its most common IVF drug.”
“A single dose of the most common IVF drug in the country, Gonal-F, will plummet from the highest price in the developed world that we paid — the US was subsidising everybody,” he added.
The discounts follow negotiations since September last year, with over a dozen pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, among others. The report added that these negotiations often included tariff threats.
Where and how to use the website?
- You can visit the website here — https://trumprx.gov/
- It has descriptions and list of all the medicines currently available.
- You can also use the search bar to browse to check if the medicines you want are on the platform.
- According to the Bloomberg report, once patients find the drugs they want, clicking on it will redirect them to the drug companies’ platforms where they can buy the products at a reduced rate.
- As a direct sale platform, costs of pharmacy benefit managers, and middlemen who sit between insurance companies and drugmakers is removed and expected to reduce prices significantly.
- Further, patients will have the option to conduct cash pay, which can help in cases where the insurance plans have high drug copays or deductibles, or whose plans don’t cover some medications, e.g. the GLP-1 drugs used to treat obesity, an entire disease category that is often excluded.
