    The TrumpRx site, which will not go live until early 2026, will not sell or distribute medications, a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday. Consumers will be able search for their medicines and will be redirected to manufacturers’ direct-to-consumer channels.

    Is he just going to be directing people to pharmaceutical company patient assistance programs (PAPs)? Those already exist

    Other countries mostly pay less for brand-name prescription drugs than the U.S. because they have government health systems that set drug prices. By and large, the U.S. doesn’t set prices, so the drug companies can charge what the market will bear.

    can charge what the market will bear.

    can charge what the market will bear.

    what the market will bear.

    This means they will fuck us as hard as we’re willing to get fucked. It has nothing to do with putting food on the table.

    Im really wondering how much of this was him seeing how obamacare stuck in such a positive way as obama embraced it and wanting that for himself. Please someone deface the site.
