Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Pfizer to Offer Discounted Drugs via TrumpRx.com
Caption: Pfizer to Offer Discounted Drugs via TrumpRx.com. Pfizer has agreed to offer significantly discounted prescription drugs through a new federal government website. The company will extend “most favored nation” pricing to Medicaid, matching U.S. drug costs with the lowest international rates. President Trump made the announcement during a press event with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The new platform, TrumpRx.com, will serve as the central hub for accessing the discounted medications. The website is not yet live, but promotional materials have already been shared by the White House. The initiative is part of Trump’s ongoing push to cut U.S. drug prices, which are nearly three times higher than in other wealthy nations. Trump’s administration is also in talks with other pharmaceutical companies to secure similar pricing agreements. The announcement comes amid a potential government shutdown and political tensions over proposed cuts to healthcare programs. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the Trump-backed spending bill could leave 16 million more people uninsured by 2034. The deal may lower drug costs, but broader policy changes raise concerns about rising healthcare expenses.
