The TrumpRx Website and Drug Prices
The TrumpRx website is not the solution to slashing drug prices, but tighter price regulation could be.
According to health economist Beth Woods from the Centre for Health Economics, University of York, UK, tighter price regulation would result in fewer new drugs but would improve global health.
In the US, over 9 million people do not take their prescribed medicines due to cost concerns, with prices being up to four times higher than in other high-income countries.
US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Pfizer on September 30 to improve drug affordability.
Each year, more than nine million people in the United States do not take their medicines as prescribed owing to cost concerns.
AUTHOR SUMMARY: Tighter price regulation can improve global health.
