Trump RX
TrumpRx is a federal government initiative centered around a new website, TrumpRx.gov, slated to launch in early 2026. The primary stated goal is to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Americans by creating a new pathway for purchasing medications directly from manufacturers at discounted rates.
The government-operated website will not directly sell or distribute medications. Instead, it’s designed to function as a search portal. Consumers can use the site to look up their prescriptions and, if a drug is part of the program, they will be redirected to the pharmaceutical manufacturer’s own direct-to-consumer platform to complete the purchase. This portal model keeps the government out of the complex logistics of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

My concern is that Trump will personally benefit from "Trump RX". It is one more step toward privatization of federal services. Biden did not create "Biden RX". He just lowered the prices.

We already know that the term "Obamacare" was invented by the Repukes. PBO had nothing to do with the name "Obamacare" and in fact he detests it. Pres. Barack Obama named his signature healthcare program the "Affordable Care Act" and the proper nickname is the ACA. Why the Repukes insist on calling it Obamacare, we'll never know.
But Chump glorifies himself by using his own name in the third person, anywhere and everywhere he can do it. In many cases when a business includes his name, such as the "Chump Hotels & Resorts," or "Chump Steaks," he gets a kickback on every sale. Yes that's right ... money goes into his pocket. Ka-ching!
But in the case of "Chump RX" I don't believe he would benefit financially from the use of his name. It's just for his own ego and glory. Still the use of a person's name should be banned on any government program. It has never been done as far as I know, and it shouldn't start now.
I might have misunderstood the purpose ... so thanks for setting me straight.
