President Donald Trump launched a new website to help Americans directly buy select medicines at a discount, seeking to counter cost-of-living concerns that pose a threat to his party in November’s congressional elections.
“Starting tonight, dozens of the most commonly used prescription drugs will be available at dramatic discounts for all consumers through a new website, TrumpRx.gov,” Trump said at a White House event Thursday to hail the new effort. He was joined by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz, government design chief Joe Gebbia as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of Health and Human Services.
