No personal experience but I heard a news report that it offered savings for some fertility and obesity medications when those medications are not covered by insurance. For people with insurance using medications covered by insurance it’s unlikely to be useful thus far.

Important clarification: The official “Trump Rx” government website is https://www.trumprx.gov (a .gov domain). Official U.S. government programs are always hosted on .gov websites.
The domain trumprx.com is a commercial .com site and is not the official government website. Look-alike .com domains are sometimes used to collect personal information or redirect users for marketing purposes, and in some cases can be used for phishing or other malicious activities.
For your safety, always verify that you are on the correct .gov domain before entering any personal, medical, or financial information. If in doubt, navigate directly to trumprx.gov rather than clicking links posted elsewhere.

Good callout 
@ClaudnDaye. 
I went to the site out of curiosity. It was typical government stupidity.
Put in Humalog and you get this:
Ah…you have to know that Humalog is called “Insulin Lispro”. If you put in Insulin Lispro it appears.
[sarcasm]Of course, that makes perfect sense. All of us here refer to our insulins as Insulin Aspart or Insulin Lispro. Nobody here calls them Humalog or NovoLog. [/sarcasm]

It is a wonderful political advertising site. This one paid for the United States of America.

It (the .com) has been around since, apparently, 2018. Here it was back then:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180805131745/http://trumprx.com/
It is, of course, entirely possible that this is an innocent web site with a name based on a reasonable understanding of English! Nothing like beating those silly prescription requirements! Anyone want to translate what the original is selling (I assume) into American?
Anyway, the website seems to have been taken down in a rather curious way; I’m getting taken to “trumprx.com/lander” and somehow archive.org (after the very first archive above) is going to “rv48lander.com”; the archives on archive.org reliably go to the URI “trumprx.com/lander”.
Here’s the first archive of trumprx.gov:
https://web.archive.org/web/20251010204335/https://trumprx.gov/
Now why would anyone do that?
I think “lispro” is the only insulin available; if you put in “insulin” that’s the only candidate. I kinda ran through the various insula (is that the correct plural?) my family uses; glargine, degludec, asparte weren’t there. Neither was NPH or “Insulin”, unless, of course, you want the presumably sponsored Eli Lilley product.
Probably a part of their (Eli Lilley’s) ongoing efforts to produce more affordable insulin, to quote from 2019:
In April 2019, Eli Lilly and Company announced they would produce a version selling for $137.35 per vial.[28] The chief executive said that this was a contribution “to fix the problem of high out-of-pocket costs for Americans living with chronic conditions”.
Sorry, quoting that commie rag wikipedia.org there.
EDIT: check out the page for the only insulin available on the new government plan:
You pay $25 for one vial (I use ~25IU/day, so, while the page is misleading and the entries are for one month (30 days, in America), I can get by on that if I don’t eat ice cream. But wait, if I need two vials it only costs $35/month, and three, and four! Sounds more like wydenrx.com
Cheaper if you bulk buy.
Oooh, cheap Ozempic too, but wait:
Limited Time Offer – New self-pay patients pay $199* for the first two monthly fills of Ozempic® (semaglutide) injection 0.25mg or 0.5mg. Only available for 2 monthly fills between 11/17/2025 – 3/31/26. For each fill after, pay $349/month for Ozempic® 0.25mg, 0.5mg or 1mg, and $499/month for Ozempic® 2mg. For eligible patients only.
Looking through a couple of the sets of conditions (Lispro and Ozempic) the site is offering manufacturer discount coupons. In the two cases I looked at the specific conditions varied quite considerable. Both excluded Medicare etc enrollees but the conditions are very tricky, e.g. for Lispro:
Card savings are subject to a maximum monthly savings based on wholesale acquisition cost minus self-pay price of $35 per prescription fill of each Insulin Lispro injection vial (10mL). Card may be used for a maximum of up to 13 prescription fills per calendar year for each Insulin Lispro injection vial (10mL).
It’s yet another false hope for people without insurance.
One bright side; it does not exclude illegals.
@jbowler It used to be standard government policy to purchase all versions of a domain name (i.e. .gov, .com, etc.) when a website went online. Perhaps that’s changed over the years, but it makes sense to avoid scammers. Even when this was done, slight variations and common mis-spellings would end up in the fraudsters hip-pocket and force government action to resolve. Seems an easy fix to me, but putting it into legal language may be more difficult than I image.
They just partnered with Cuban’s CostPlus.
That’s a big deal. Cuban’s been working on this all year.
This is a biased view of the politically driven and for out of pocket paying patients. Impact of the populace is minimal if none. Cuban and Amazon provided better pricing.
I just logged on to tell Terry that the docs are in his town. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZRiaM-ovYM @Terry, the doctors are coming to your neighborhood. https://siubfilm.com/
You misunderstand. They are all the same organization now. CostPlus is Cuban.
Google for whatever source you want. The point is to let people know what Cuban is up to. He’s finally succeeded. He’s been working on this for over a year. Cuban is DFL. Trump is GOP. The point is that this all transcends partisan bickering.
Announcements this week include that they need to handle the low level fraud and then work their way up. MSN This is going to take them a while. They need to do a lot of restructuring.

It is ONLY for the uninsured. It has nothing to do w/ the insured. Those are totally different strategies.

Medicaid and Medicare - they are asking for whistleblowers. They will pay out 30% on recovered money.. Eli Lilly is suing them over it. https://hoodline.com/2026/03/indy-pharma-giant-eli-lilly-takes-whistleblower-law-fight-to-supreme-court/ Here’s the text for the Federal Insulin act: https://www.collins.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/insulin_act_text_final.pdf
We have pieces moving all over the place. It’s very difficult for me to write THIS much to keep everybody up to date. If you have a question or concern about something specific, just ask. There’s a lot going on in enforcement. Why? Because making laws doesn’t do much good if people don’t follow them.
Here’s one whistleblower case that just got settled…The pharmacists are discussing it…
" A CVS Caremark actuary named Sarah Behnke sued her own employer for inflating drug prices reported to Medicare. She just won $289.9 million.
She filed in 2014. The DOJ looked at the case and declined to intervene. They passed on it. So she pursued it alone. A single actuary against the largest PBM in the country with her own attorneys and her own evidence.
Eight-day bench trial. June 2025. The judge found Caremark liable for causing Medicare Part D sponsors to submit false claims to CMS by manipulating the generic drug prices Caremark reported for prescriptions filled at Rite Aid and Walgreens.
Read that again. Caremark was not inflating prices at CVS Pharmacy locations. They were inflating prices on scripts filled at competitor pharmacies. They were using other pharmacies’ claims data to overbill the federal government.
Original damages: $95 million. Court trebled it under the False Claims Act. Final judgment March 2026: $289.9 million.
And here is what should terrify every independent pharmacy owner reading this.
If Caremark was manipulating generic pricing on Rite Aid and Walgreens claims, what do you think they are doing with yours. Your claims flow through Caremark’s adjudication system every single day. Your reimbursement rates are set by Caremark. Your generic pricing is reported by Caremark. The same Caremark that a federal judge just found liable for falsifying exactly that data.
This judgment covered one slice of the pricing. Generic drugs. Two pharmacy chains. One whistleblower who happened to be an actuary with the skills to prove it.
The full scope of Caremark’s pricing manipulation across every pharmacy, every generic, every year is not in this judgment. This is a core sample from a goldmine of fraud that nobody has fully excavated yet.
Sarah Behnke spent 11 years fighting this case. The DOJ would not help her. Caremark fought her at every turn. She won anyway.
Think about that the next time someone tells you the system works. The system did not catch this. One woman caught this. The system tried to look the other way.
$289.9 million sounds like a lot until you remember CVS Health makes that in about 7 hours. They will report it as a legal charge on next quarter’s earnings and the stock will barely move.
This is the third subsidiary I have coverd this week. CVS Health has over 200."

One of the diabetics asks this…after the addition of 600 drugs onto TrumpRx.
“How soon before the FTC settlement agreement with Express Scripts (and CVS Caremark) enables TrumpRx purchases applied towards the patient deductible and max OOP? That was contained in the settlement, but we haven’t seen a big committment towards implementation.”
This will come soon. All the advocacy orgs are on it.
