Episode Details

1. Launch of TrumpRx.gov

• The White House announced and launched TrumpRx.gov, a federal website designed to provide Americans access to significantly discounted prescription drugs.
• The platform allows patients with valid prescriptions to obtain savings via manufacturer-supported coupons, downloadable or printable, integrated through the website.

2. Most Favored Nation (MFN) Drug Pricing Model

• The initiative is based on Most Favored Nation pricing, meaning U.S. patients pay prices comparable to the lowest prices paid by other developed nations.
• The document argues Americans have historically overpaid due to pharmaceutical lobbying and systemic corruption, which MFN pricing aims to correct.

3. Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Participation

• Initial participating manufacturers include:
  • AstraZeneca
  • Eli Lilly
  • Novo Nordisk
  • Pfizer
• Additional drugs and manufacturers are expected to be added over time as more MFN pricing agreements are finalized.

4. Major Drug Price Reductions (Examples)

The document highlights dramatic price cuts on high‑cost, high‑usage medications:

• Diabetes & Weight‑Loss Drugs
  • Ozempic‑type injectables: ~$1,000+ → as low as $199/month
  • Wegovy: ~$1,349 → as low as $149
  • Zepbound: ~$1,088 → as low as $299–$346
• Insulin
  • Available for as low as $25/month
• Respiratory Medications
  • COPD inhalers: ~$500 → $51
  • Asthma inhalers: ~$504 → $201
• Menopause/Osteoporosis Drug
  • Duavee: ~$202 → $30

These examples are presented as evidence of the “largest prescription drug price reduction in U.S. history.”

5. Fertility Drug Cost Relief

• Fertility medications are emphasized as a major priority due to high out‑of‑pocket costs.
• Families may save over $2,000 per IVF cycle on average.
• Example reductions include:
  • One fertility drug reduced to $168 per pen
  • Another reduced to $22–$50
• Personal testimony is used to highlight the financial burden of infertility treatments.
