President Trump negotiated lower prices for some drugs on TrumpRx, but discounts only apply to cash paying patients not using their insurance. Many drugs already had big discounts through manufacturers or coupons, and some have generic equivalents that are already much cheaper.

The latest poll also finds that health care costs are the top economic worry for Democrats, independents and Republicans. Looking ahead to the election, more than 4 in 10 voters say health care costs will have a “major impact” on their decision to vote & which party’s candidate they will support.
