Two more drug companies to officially launch on TrumpRx
Read Original Source
Two more drug-making giants will officially start selling popular commercial medications on the White House's discounted pharmaceutical site as soon as Monday, CBS News exclusively learned. American pharmaceutical companies Abbvie and Genentech become the 10th and 11th companies to provide their prescriptions at a reduced rate on the "TrumpRx" site.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Abbvie and Genentech will begin selling more drugs on the TrumpRx site, as the Trump administration expands its effort to lower prescription costs for uninsured patients.
Key Points:
- Abbvie will offer Humira on TrumpRx at an 86% discount, cutting the price to about $950 from more than $6,900 for uninsured buyers.
- Genentech will add Xofluza, which will cost about $50 on the site instead of $168.
- TrumpRx discounts are aimed at people without insurance or whose plans do not cover the drug, while insured patients often already pay less.
- The Trump administration says it is working on a larger health plan to let people on government insurance use copays for TrumpRx drugs.
Impact on the People

Most patients with insurance will see little change, while uninsured people may still face high out-of-pocket costs even after the discount.
