More than half of the drugs listed on the new TrumpRx website have or will soon have a cheaper generic version on the market that can be purchased through other direct-to-consumer sites.
Why it matters: Patients could save more buying nonbrand copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance and pay cash, drug pricing experts say.
The White House on Thursday launched its TrumpRx discount drug website, offering a new option for people wanting to pay cash for prescription drugs instead of using insurance.
Why it matters: The site is a key part of President Trump's efforts to lower health costs but isn't expected to significantly affect drug prices, since most Americans will likely have access to cheaper medicines through their health plans.
