White House Unveils New Drug Pricing Platform and Health Care Proposal

TrumpRx-Great Health Care Plan-

In early 2026, the U.S. federal government rolled out two major elements of its health care policy agenda: the launch of TrumpRx.gov, an online platform offering discounted prescription prices, and the release of a broader framework known as the Great Healthcare Plan. Both efforts reflect the current administration’s stated priority of reducing health care costs for Americans. (The White House)

TrumpRx.gov: Prescription Savings Online

On February 5, 2026, the White House announced the launch of TrumpRx.gov, a new website designed to give patients access to lower prices on commonly used prescription drugs. The platform makes pricing information publicly available and offers links or coupon options that can help consumers obtain medications at negotiated prices. (The White House)

According to the official announcement, the initial offering includes around 40 high-cost brand medicines with significantly discounted cash prices with the lowest prices benchmarked against lower prices, paid in comparable international markets. Example price changes include reductions on popular diabetes and weight-management medicines, as well as fertility drugs and inhalers used for asthma or chronic lung conditions. (The White House)

The TrumpRx.gov site itself does not sell drugs directly. Instead, it displays the negotiated prices and directs users to participating manufacturers’ channels where they can purchase at the listed cost or download printable savings coupons. The White House statement says additional drugs will be added as more pricing agreements are completed. (The White House)

The Great Healthcare Plan: Broader Policy Goals

In addition to the new drug pricing platform, the administration has outlined a broader policy initiative called the Great Healthcare Plan, which is currently being presented to Congress for consideration. The proposal includes several key goals intended to address health care affordability and transparency. (The White House)

One major component of the plan is a call to codify the government’s existing drug price agreements so that Americans could consistently receive prescription prices that match the lowest amounts paid abroad in comparable countries. This reflects the administration’s use of Most-Favored-Nation pricing tools introduced by executive action. (The White House)

The Great Healthcare Plan also proposes measures aimed at lowering health insurance premiums by redirecting federal funds currently directed to insurers to eligible individuals, placing more purchasing power directly in the hands of consumers. It would fund a cost-sharing reduction program with a projected impact on reducing premiums for the most common Affordable Care Act marketplace plans. (The White House)

Another focus of the plan is enhancing price transparency and accountability in the health care system. This includes requirements for insurers to publish coverage comparisons and financial data in clear language, as well as making pricing and fees more accessible from providers and insurers that participate in Medicare or Medicaid. (The White House)

Price Transparency and Consumer Information

Under the transparency proposals, health insurance companies would be required to share clear data about how much of the premiums they collect are paid out in claims versus administrative costs and profits. The plan also calls for these companies to disclose claim denial rates and average wait times for care, with the stated aim of helping people make more informed choices. (The White House)

In addition, the Great Healthcare Plan would expand the availability of some safe pharmaceutical drugs over-the-counter, with the goal of increasing competition and reducing the need for expensive doctor visits for certain therapies. (The White House)

Legislative Proposal and Policy Context

The TrumpRx initiative and the Great Healthcare Plan reflect ongoing policy priorities presented by the White House for congressional action. While TrumpRx.gov is operational as a public website with immediate pricing information, the broader Great Healthcare Plan remains a legislative framework that lawmakers would need to enact for many of its components to become law. (The White House)

As presented by the administration, the combined approach aims to bring greater transparency to health care pricing, expand consumer choice, and reduce the out-of-pocket financial burden for patients across a range of health care needs. (The White House)
