Except this time Mark Cuban’s company (which really revolutionized the consumer pharmacy market) will probably be excluded because he said Trump had bad hair.
If only there was a private sector company that did this exact same thing - not just for drugs, but for millions of different products!
That would be AMAZ-ing.

and? so what?
So why is the government attempting to compete with a perfectly good private sector? Will they next create competition for Google? Ford? Budweiser?

The negotiated pricing would be available via google. Having a TrumpRX website is a marketing ploy allowing pharma companies to backlink a government or a White House site. It’s a nic littlel it take marketing benefit. Or a giant one. Depends on how small or big the particular pharmacy company
they negotiated lower prices for the drugs, they aren’t competing with anybody. The plan is designed for people who do not have prescription drug coverage or even do not have insurance so that those people can get the benefit of a lower price that typically only comes with buying power. I understand why you think its bad. The same reason Schumer and other democrats would not let Trumps DACA pass. Who is he to help “your” people?

They are competing with every.other.distributor of pharmaceuticals. Every one of them.
And you are cheering on the government’s interference. Because Trump told you it was good. Hint: Amazon can do it better. Cheaper. Faster. And reach a wider audience.
none of them
maybe Amazon can, but its not Amazon that did
So the government selling pharmaceuticals is not competing with the firms selling pharmaceuticals? OK then.

TrumpRX isn’t selling pharmaceuticals? Isn’t connecting pharma sellers with pharma buyers?
no, they are not. the website will link people to pharmacies where the discounts are available

Do you think Amazon actually keeps a pharmacy on hand and ships meds? Or do you think they connect buyers with sellers?
Maybe we need Trumpusedcar.com. And Trumpbreakfastsandwich.com So I know where to go to get my discounted breakfast sandwich. Great role for government, that hyper-efficient market participant.

Of course. You want the government to do it for you.
maybe NYC should step in and tell everyone which Bodegas have the best price on Miller Lite. That would be a good use of Mamdani’s principles. And Trumps.
no, I don’t. But why would I care that the government negotiated a lower price for people? Costs me nothing
The government negotiated the price? Negotiated? Bargained? Threats of tariffs and telling pharma companies there will be “trouble” if they don’t lower prices. That’s not negotiating. It’s placing the boot of government on the private sector’s neck. It’s two-bit banana republic ■■■■■■■■■ Conservatives used to know that.
