Trump RX [View all]

TrumpRx is a federal government initiative centered around a new website, TrumpRx.gov, slated to launch in early 2026. The primary stated goal is to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans by creating a new pathway for purchasing medications directly from manufacturers at discounted rates.

The government-operated website will not directly sell or distribute medications. Instead, it’s designed to function as a search portal. Consumers can use the site to look up their prescriptions and, if a drug is part of the program, they will be redirected to the pharmaceutical manufacturer’s own direct-to-consumer platform to complete the purchase. This portal model keeps the government out of the complex logistics of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

My concern is that Trump will personally benefit from "Trump RX". It is one more step toward privatization of federal services. Biden did not create "Biden RX". He just lowered the prices.
