Summary
- Prescription drugs in the U.S. cost nearly three times more than in other developed countries, driving financial strain for millions of Americans and fueling demand for reform
- TrumpRx, a new government-run website set to launch in 2026, will let Americans buy discounted medications directly from drug manufacturers, bypassing insurers and pharmacy benefit managers
- Pfizer is the first major pharmaceutical partner, pledging to sell many drugs at up to 50% off list prices, match global "Most Favored Nation" pricing, and invest $70 billion in U.S. manufacturing
- The TrumpRx initiative stems from President Trump's May 2025 executive order reinstating "Most Favored Nation" pricing, which requires drugmakers to charge Americans no more than patients in other wealthy nations
- TrumpRx also includes plans to cut U.S. prescription spending by half, reinvest $500 billion into domestic production, and give financially struggling Americans direct access to low-cost or even free medications
