Episode notes
TrumpRx Is A Cash-Price Directory
- TrumpRx is a centralized directory that connects cash-paying patients to pre-negotiated manufacturer discounts and coupons.
- Most insured Americans will likely pay less through insurance than via TrumpRx's cash prices.
Benefits Skew Toward The Uninsured
- Many insured patients get better deals through their insurance than by paying cash on TrumpRx.
- Therefore the program's benefits will be concentrated mostly among the uninsured or those whose insurance doesn't cover specific drugs.
Pharma Keeps Its Top Sellers Off The Site
- Critics argue TrumpRx's deals were shaped by political leverage and PR wins for drugmakers.
- The most profitable drugs remain absent, limiting how transformative the program can be.
