Voters See Trump RX as Keeping a Promise on Drug Prices

Key Takeaways

  • Trump RX reinforces Trump’s promise to lower health care costs.
  • Awareness is still low — only about one-third are following the launch.
  • Price comparisons and insurance integration would boost usage.
  • Voters say insurers and middlemen must now lower prices too.

Most voters are not closely following news about the launch of Trump RX and say they are unlikely to use the site to check whether they can obtain lower prices for their medicines. However, a majority do agree that the website launch is an example of President Donald J. Trump keeping his campaign promises to lower the cost of health care. Many also say practical improvements to the website — particularly tools that make it more relevant for patients with insurance — would make them more likely to use it.
