Interesting. I did wonder about Donald doing an end run around our local pharmacies and pharmacists, taking their business, and forcing consumers to purchase from the fed government.
I don’t agree with the city grocery stores either. They would be a stupid disaster.
If this is what NY wants then so be it. But I suspect if Mandani wins we will at best see one grocery store controllee by NY local government just so he can say he delivered.
Mandani like all pols will soon find out running for office is easy but being in office becomes an another matter altogether.
One big difference. Donald has actually done it. With zero debate, zero congressional approval or votes, and he absolutely did not run on creating TrumpRx.
The second component involves “TrumpRx,” a website that will be activated sometime next year and that purports to “offer medicines at a deep discount off the list price when selling directly to American patients,” the White House said .
But that’s not how TrumpRx would work. According to the White House, TrumpRx will merely refer users to the consumer-discount websites already operated by individual drug companies, which are aimed at patients without insurance coverage for their prescriptions. “The federal government is not going to operate a pharmacy,” a White House spokesman told me.
not even that. They negotiated discount pricing for drugs. When you go there it directs you eo where you can go to get those discount prices. It was designed mainly for people who do not have prescription drug coverage so they can get the same or better discount pricing that insurance companies negotiate. The government neither buys nor sells the drugs
