So you are against attempts to lower drug prices for consumers. Got it.

Bet you have never gotten a prescription in the USA.

Jawboning makes a difference. Under Biden, I paid OOP for 4 of my 5 scripts. Now they are free. Keep up the good work Don, no need to subsidize the Swiss.

Once again, trying to make it personal. This is a public issue. The report clearly states that the Trump website ignores generic drug producers where the prices are often lower. Why is that so hard for you to understand? What does getting your own prescription filled have to do with that?

Personal? LOL, your specialty.

Tell us what the generic equivalent is for...say Wegovy? Or Ozempic?

Do you support efforts to lower prescription costs or not?

Yes, personal. You made an issue out of the utterly irrelevant fact of whether or not someone has ever filled a prescription in the USA. What does that have to do with the Trump websites ignoring generics?

Just now, Yagoda said:

So, because there may currently be no generic replacements for Wegovy or Ozempic, does that mean that there are no generic replacements for any major pharmaceuticals? You want to run with that?

Genuine efforts yes. Empty public relations stunts, not so much.

Sure. There are 43 drugs on the list right now, how many have generic equivalents? We know that the two I mentioned dont.

Well we know that folks who take Wegovy will get a price reduction, right? Guess thats not enough.

You care more about scoring points against Trump than in helping the American people/

Got it. So pointing out the lack of knowledge about a specific subject opined on is making it personal. You should feel free to report it.

Did you tell the poster who was asking me what scrips I have that he was "making it personal"?

Lack of knowledge about a subject that is irrelevant. What does someone's personal experience have to do with the issue of the Trump website steering people away from generic pharmaceutical companies? You have yet to come up with a cogent explanation.

Asserting something is relevant instead of explaining why it is relevant is empty. And crossing out a few words is just childish. Clearly, you have no rational explanation to offer as to why getting a prescription filled in the USA is somehow relevant to Trump's website ignoring providers of generic drugs.

Trump is planning to bring manufacturing of generic drugs back to the US, possibly, according to this. Which should drive down the costs?

Actually, you've got it pretty close to exactly wrong:

“The administration is not actively discussing imposing Section 232 tariffs against generic pharmaceuticals,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement. A spokesman for the Commerce Department, which is handling the tariff investigation, similarly said that the 232 investigation wouldn’t result in tariffs on generics.

The move, which isn’t final and could change in the coming weeks, comes after months of debate within the administration over how to bring manufacturing of generic drugs back to the U.S. and what role tariffs should play in that effort. While Trump has targeted name-brand drugs in tariff threats, he has made few recent statements on generics—the antibiotics, heart medications and other commonplace drugs that make up about 90% of medicines dispensed to Americans every day but are largely sourced from outside the country.

The decision not to impose tariffs on generics represents a major scaling-back of the scope of the Commerce Department’s tariff investigation into pharmaceuticals. When the pharmaceutical tariff probe was announced in April, the Federal Register notice specified that the investigation would target “both finished generic and non-generic drug products,” as well as drug ingredients.

Got it. So even small savings on a few items arent good enough. There is always a better way, as long as its not Trump.

The spittlescreeching over everything cheapens deserving critisism.

And they live in Thailand where drugs are cheap.

I'll never understand people coming to this website and arguing about Trump. What a waste of time.

The MAGA Trumpers think he is God's gift to the U.S. and can do no wrong. Many of us feel he is the worst thing that could've happened to the U.S., but nonetheless, he'll get neutered at the midterms and that party will get voted out in 2028.

Nothing to see here, lets all move on to more interesting things like Russians pooping in Pattaya. Movie title there maybe, Pooping in Patters.

Actually, one of my meds is more expensive since its free in the USA, not counting the fact that they dont sell the exact same med because of Asian metabolism. So I have to take two 20s instead of a 40
