Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs will partner with TrumpRx, the Trump administration’s website where Americans can buy prescription medication at discounted prices.
Cuban initially announced the partnership at health care conference HLTH in Las Vegas Oct. 19, where he was featured as a keynote speaker.
President Donald Trump announced TrumpRx in September as a way for Americans to shop directly for prescription drugs at cheaper rates without insurance. TrumpRx won’t offer medications itself but will instead partner with pharmaceutical distributors. At the time of the September announcement, TrumpRx said that it was partnering with Pfizer.
TrumpRx’s mission aligns with Cuban and his efforts at Cost Plus Drugs, which aims to dramatically reduce the cost of medication. The company produces medicine at a factory in Deep Ellum and charges customers the cost to make the drug plus 15%. Many times, that results in medications being sold for hundreds of dollars less than patients may spend picking it up from a traditional pharmacy, according to Cuban.
