npr 8h President Trump has unveiled a new website called TrumpRx.gov, where consumers can search for discounts on brand-name medications. But they'll have to pay in cash, instead of using their health insurance.⁠ ⁠ The new program works because Trump wielded a stick against drugmakers: lower prices in the U.S. or face tariffs on your imports.⁠ ⁠ Dozens of drugs are covered, from weight loss to fertility treatments. But drug policy experts say it’s not clear how many people will benefit. For people using insurance, co-pays are probably cheaper than the cash prices on the new website. And some of these drugs are already available as cheaper generics.⁠
