Big Pharma gouging consumers as Trump's touted drug deals fall flat: Senate report www.rawstory.com/trump-drugs-...

⚡ BREAKING: Senate Democrats report shows U.S. prescription drug prices continued to climb sharply despite Trump's drugmaker deals #DrugPrices #Healthcare

Slapping a 100% tariff on patented drugs to celebrate "Liberation Day" is a wild way to lower healthcare costs. It’s not "liberation" if the pharmacy bill doubles to pay for a trade war. Hope everyone enjoyed the cheap insulin while it lasted.

🧮 WHAT IT COSTS YOU:

Trump tariffs: +$700/household in 2026 overall.

Cancer drugs. Biologics. Specialty meds.

All patented. All potentially affected.

Your medicine cabinet just became a trade war battleground.

#PharmaTariffs #DrugPrices #TrumpTariffs

💸 WHAT EXPERTS EXPECT:

Short term: Companies raise prices or absorb costs.

Medium term: Shortages if US plants can't scale fast.

Long term: Cheaper drugs IF companies actually move.

The 4-year window is the entire gamble.

#PharmaTariffs #DrugPrices #Healthcare

🤔 SOUNDS GOOD. HERE'S THE CATCH:

53% of patented US drugs are made overseas.

All 16 companies that signed Trump's 2025 price deals?

Still raised prices in 2026.

Deals without enforcement are photo ops.

The patient pays either way.

Same prescription. Different prices.

If leaders had to choose:
lower prices now
or protect future innovation?

Trump Promised the ‘World’s Lowest’ Drug Prices. We Checked the Numbers.

The claim that the Trump administration is making that Americans are getting the best deal is clearly false,” Dr. Sarpatwari said. “It is very easy to mislead the public about drug costs.” #DrugPrices #MoreTrumpMisinformation

$48 million. That's what drug companies spent on Super Bowl ads while Americans ration insulin and skip refills.
If the margins support $266,000 per second in advertising, the "we can't lower prices" argument deserves a harder look.
Ep 1 of our new podcast takes that look.

TrumpRx isn't doing much for drug prices. What would it take to change that? So far, IVF drugs and GLP-1s have been the site's most commonly searched medications, representing a tiny fraction of the prescription drugs Americans take.

My Take: More information on how to fix The Shit Show Rx website. I'd start by doing away with naming after him.

Trump Administration Advances Drug Price Reduction Policies and Non-Coercive Vaccine Approaches In this opinion article, physician Nicole Saphier praises President Donald Trump's efforts to address high prescription drug costs, which have long burdened American families. Key initiatives include expanding access to generics and biosimilars, enforcing price transparency rules, capping insulin costs for seniors, promoting TrumpRx—a platform enabling cash purchases at lower prices through increased competition and Most Favored Nation policies that align U.S. prices with those in other developed countries—and prioritizing patients over intermediaries. These steps aim to provide lasting relief by fostering competition and direct access. The piece also reflects on Trump's first-term Operation Warp Speed, which accelerated COVID-19 vaccine development through public-private collaboration. However, it criticizes subsequent bureaucratic overreach and universal vaccine mandates that eroded public trust by overriding personal choice despite varying risk levels. In contrast, the current administration emphasizes non-coercive policies, with health leaders like Acting CDC Director Jay Bhattacharya and CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz recommending vaccines (such as for measles amid rising cases) as personal decisions while ensuring availability and affordability without barriers. The author stresses that respecting family and physician autonomy, combined with honest science-based communication, rebuilds trust and supports broad access to effective preventive tools, benefiting public health across political lines.
