Don’t got out to TRUMPRX.COM and expect to find cheap or reduced priced Medications. NOTE. they do not even carry Novalog.

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.
