      Quote from The Wall Street Journal

      >WASHINGTON—The White House is planning to unveil a direct-to-consumer website for Americans to buy drugs, dubbed TrumpRx, as well as announce that Pfizer plans to lower prices on several of its medications in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter. TrumpRx would allow people to pay cash for certain drugs directly from a government website, at a discounted price negotiated by the government.

      >It’s unclear how many drugs would be offered, or whether the website would be useful for the majority of Americans who are already covered by private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Pfizer is expected to be the first to announce a plan to lower drug costs after President Trump pushed companies for months to lower prices in the U.S. More companies are expected to follow suit.  Trump and Albert Bourla, the chief executive of Pfizer, are set to announce the cost-cutting measure at the White House later today, according to a White House official. Bourla is also expected to announce a $70 billion investment on manufacturing medications in the U. S., according to Pfizer spokeswoman Amy Rose and a White House official.

      >“It’s a win for American patients, a win for American leadership, and it’s a win for Pfizer because it provides the certainty and stability we need to continue advancing new breakthrough medicines for patients,” said Rose.  “President Trump is leveraging the power of the federal government to drastically cut drug prices for everyday Americans,” said White House spokesman Kush Desai. “Democrats talked the talk for decades about drug prices, but only President Trump is actually walking the walk.”

      This is obviously awful, but I do find it amusing that the MAGA cult will go from decrying Pfizer for sending out Fauci Ouchies but now they will be directly okay with this

      God, what a bunch of rabid dogs

      Every day I wonder what fresh hell Trump’s America will unleash on the country and the world, and every day, he surpasses my wildest imagination.

      The aggressive branding of everything he does is the extra insane/dictatorial cherry on top. I’d say I’m glad I emigrated to the UK, but we’re only a few years behind, I fear.

      This is absolutely insane. Pfuck Trump and this dystopian hell we are living in with him and his deranged MAGA antics.

      I would just like to live one day where just one corporation stopped catering to this Nero. But alas, rich people love rich people and I am called a loon because I say there is a class issue happening.

      Keep in mind if you use this and they see you’re on SSRIs they will definitely put you on some kind of watchlist as a potential Antifa member

      I will never purchase any medication through a program with his name on it. I do not trust a loud mouthed bigot over a real doctor.

      operation warp speed and now this, the maga philosophy and ethos (lol) is more confused and chaotic than my chord drawer

      Now seems like a good time to plug Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs. Genuinely recommend as an affordable alternative that most people forget exist

      He is so jealous that the ACA is referred to as Obamacare. Little does he realize that TrumpRx sounds like Trump wrecks.

      That shit is probably poisoned. No thank you. I don’t need Trump’s fascist fucking government knowing what meds my family takes.

      I can’t wait to see the website. No doubt it will be all black with gaudy golden lettering. I wonder if they’ll take the Trump crypto coin as a payment option?

      Please kill me.

      This is so wild. Of course he doesn’t want people buying tylenol, he wants them to buy whatever the fuck painkillers he’ll be selling to them himself

      You repealed caps on drugs so you could get a bribe from big Pharma and your name on yet something else that will be an epic failure. You suck at everything.

    38. dracomalfouri on

      It shouldn’t but it amuses me that every single conspiracy theory that right wing nuts believed in back during Obama’s presidency is coming into fruition under Trump. Now Trump is trying to tap into that Big Pharma money and I’m sure magats will find that perfectly reasonable

      Ahhhhh it all makes sense now hahaha so in plain sight it’s crazy how certain people dont see the collusion

      Aaah yes. Last week, Tylenol was causing autism (Tylenol, specifically. Not only acetaminophen). And now, a deal with pfizer.

      Might as well call it United State of Trump and let him retire with a % of US GDP going to him as royalties so he would not screw the country over and over again.

      “We want public healthcare”

      #”What if we use the government tax money to set up a for-profit store to make billions of dollars selling you healthcare? And because you elected one guy president, all the profits go to him: the president is now the CEO of the for-profit company.”

      “Didn’t a president have to sell his peanut farm because making side money as the president is illegal?”
