Donald Trump and Mark Cuban have partnered to expand TrumpRx, a platform aimed at reducing prescription drug costs. The initiative integrates Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs company, along with Amazon Pharmacy and GoodRx, to offer over 600 generic medications. This collaboration highlights the bipartisan frustration with high drug prices in the U.S., which are significantly higher than in other developed nations, largely due to the influence of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs model bypasses these intermediaries by selling generics at acquisition cost plus a small markup. AI
