Hm, I wonder what Mark Cuban who runs costplusdrugs.com thinks of this. He hasn't commented that I can see yet https://bsky.app/profile/mcuban.bsky.social
Costplus manufactures and sells drugs at a small markup over manufacturing cost.
TrumpRX appears to be more of a central clearinghouse where drug makers can offer discounts to consumers. And at least so far, they seem to be the same discounts that they already offer, when you look up a drug on the site, it redirects you to the manufacturer's website.
Maybe it's useful for people without insurance that don't know how to search look for discount programs to help them buy drugs and maybe some manufacturers will offer discounts on the site that aren't available otherwise, but it's not a competitor to Cuban's site.
then also it’s an invitation for debate or discussion, which he seems open to and approachable about… as scoldy and confrontational as that may be from what I’ve gathered …
the gist of that is “this sucks we want single payer”
and what I’ve surmised so far is, that’s great but until we’re there I’m taking on PBMs
im okay with either or both of those objectives , neither of which are advancing.
Not really on topic for “trumprx,” forgive me. I’m trying to avoid contempt before investigation.
Contempt after reading the fine print is fine.
