TRUMP IS RIGHT TO REBALANCE GLOBAL DRUG PRICES
Enter Trump, who said, “Not so fast.”
Through TrumpRx.gov, the White House created a public database that helps Americans find some of the cheapest prices available for prescription drugs. Instead of forcing patients to rely on confusing insurance company pricing schemes, the program helps direct consumers toward lower-cost options that come directly from the drug manufacturers themselves, cutting out many of the middlemen that used to take a cut while hiding the medications’ true cost from the public. For many, even with private insurance, higher-tier copays can still exceed the out-of-pocket cost for some medications through TrumpRx.
TrumpRx has added competition and much-needed sunlight to a system that operated behind closed doors for years, making it far harder for insurers and pharmacy middlemen to inflate prices without patients realizing it. Adults who struggle with diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and other conditions are grateful.
Also thankful are couples who struggle with infertility.
