The site, which Trump lauded as a major win for his administration, will give Americans access to big discounts on popular and high-priced medicines. Now, consumers can pay low prices that are comparable to other developed nations, keeping in line with the Trump Most-Favored Nation policy.

                               

“Starting tonight, dozens of the most commonly used prescription drugs will be available at dramatic discounts for all consumers throughout our new website, it’s called TrumpRx.gov,” the president announced at Thursday’s launch.

“For years, politicians from both parties have promised to bring down prescription drug prices and make health care more affordable, but they all failed. It was all words, as usual,” he added. “But I’m actually getting it done; it is done, actually.”

According to the White House, Trump was able to make deals with major companies like AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk, and Pfizer to get the lower drug prices for Americans.

“Additional drugs from other companies that have signed MFN pricing deals will be made available through TrumpRx.gov in the coming months,” a press release said, adding, “Depending on the manufacturer of a given drug, patients with valid prescriptions will be able to access savings through user-friendly coupons that can be printed or downloaded onto their phones or through channels set up by the manufacturer and integrated into TrumpRx.gov.”

  • The price of Cetrotide, another commonly used fertility medicine, will drop from $316 to $22.50.
  • The price of Ovidrel will fall from $251 to $84.

  • Duavee, a medication used to treat hot flashes and osteoporosis, will see its price cut from $202 to $30.

America’s HealthShare (AHS), a popular health sharing ministry, praised the development from the administration.

“America’s healthcare system is broken, and people are simply paying too much for medicine and hospital visits. America’s HealthShare enthusiastically supports the effort to offer working families and elderly people on fixed incomes access to more affordable prescription drugs,” America’s HealthShare President David Lejeune said in a statement sent to The Daily Wire.

“Our law and policy makers can and should work with this Administration, in bipartisan fashion, to address long-term solutions to America’s healthcare system,” he added. “At America’s HealthShare, we are proud to support the Make America Healthy Again movement by restoring freedom and accountability in healthcare through an innovative approach.”
