  4. Is #TrumpRX claiming lower drug prices?

    YSK
    1) Prices ARE FOR CASH, not for those with insurance.

    2) #Trump struck deals with 16 drug companies. But they're still raising prices this year see @npr story on Jan 16, 2026

    Will anyone ask,
    "What kind of kickback did Eli Lilly & Novo Nordisk give Trump?"
    How will the answer be spun?
    The companies say the details are confidential.

  5. "These aren’t obscure meds that only the government pharmacist knows. We’re talking COVID, RSV, and shingles vaccines. Blockbuster cancer drugs like Pfizer’s Ibrance. Everyday medications people actually need to survive. And survive means paying more, of course."

  6. "Trump claimed drug companies would be forced to give Americans the lowest prices in the world. ...

    Now reality has arrived. And it brought the receipts.

    As of yesterday, drugmakers are raising U.S. prices on at least 350 branded medications—up sharply from 250 last year."

  7. "In another post, #Trump claimed that #DrugPrices were dropping “500 percent, 600 percent, 700 percent and more,” a mathematical impossibility that would require #pharmaceutical companies to pay customers to take medications."

  8. U.S. President Donald Trump:

    "Because I have invoked FAVORED NATIONS STATUS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DRUG PRICES ARE FALLING AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, 500%, 600%, 700%, and more. No other President has been able to do this, BUT I HAVE!"

  9. Starting Jan. 1, California will launch its affordable state-branded CalRx insulin—no new prescription needed—offering pens for just $11 each or $55 for a five-pack, thanks to a partnership with nonprofit Civica and Biocon. This move aims to drive down drug costs and improve access, with similar low-cost insulin soon available nationwide through Civica. Newsom hopes California’s step as an insulin-maker will push prices lower everywhere, responding to sky-high pharma prices. This is part of broader efforts to make generics like insulin and Naloxone accessible for all Californians.

    The article talks about how confidential agreements are not a good way to make public policy.

    But I don’t believe this is about making policy for Trump but making business deals and scoring ‘wins’.

    And it makes me think—

    Both of the companies‘ shares are publicly traded. What’s up with them making secret deals with Trump?

  11. “…like Pfizer, #AstraZeneca is getting a three-year reprieve on having certain tariffs levied on its pharmaceutical imports. Trump noted that the reason manufacturers are agreeing to deals is because of his tariff threats.”

    The next part is extra strange 👀*

    “Both companies said the details of their arrangements were confidential.”

  12. Your periodic reminder that while most Americans are suffering from prices and inflation, pharmaceutical companies are not.

  13. In his first term, #Trump was focused on ensuring that Americans got the lowest #drug #prices. Now, he seems much more concerned about making sure Europeans pay more.

    Trump has still not described any specific legal mechanism for lowering #DrugPrices.

    Trump claims prices could come down somewhere between 59% & 90%

  14. #Trump said on social media on Monday that #DrugPrices would be cut by 59%.

    The estimate followed comments he made on Sunday that he would sign the order pursuing "most favored nation" pricing, resulting in cuts of 30% to 80%.

    The White House did not specify any targets.

    The #ExecutiveOrder differed from what drugmakers had been expecting.

    Four #lobbyist sources told Reuters they were expecting an executive order that called for "most favored nation" pricing on a subset of #Medicare #drugs.

  15. Watch live: #Trump & *#Health* Secy #RFKJr to speak soon on #DrugPrices.

    Trump plans to sign a wide-reaching #ExecutiveOrder on Monday directing drugmakers to lower the prices of their #medicines to align w/other countries.

    White House ofcls said the govt will give drugmakers price targets in the next 30 days, & will take further action to lower #prices if those companies do not make "significant progress" towards those goals within 6 months.
