Through the Static

By Hannah Saunders

The cumbersome economy has Americans struggling to afford basic necessities, including lifesaving health care. Last year, Trump promised to launch TrumpRX.gov, which would act as a cost-cutting measure for prescription medication. It was meant to go live in January, but is still at a standstill.

Each year, the U.S. healthcare system forces patients to forgo medications due to cost, which often leads to worse health outcomes with higher complications, and even death.

“For many years, Americans have paid the highest prices anywhere in the world for prescription drugs—much more than other countries for the exact same product. That ends today,” Trump previously said.

The website has an inactive search engine where people can allegedly find their medication for the lowest cost, similarly to Good RX— just Trump branded. On January 27, Secretary of Health, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., cited Trump RX as a way the regime is expanding healthcare access, but no new launch date has been issued by officials.

Politico reported that during a cabinet meeting on January 29, Kennedy Jr. said the website would go live “probably in the next ten days.”
