White House Launches TrumpRx, Unveils Drug Prices

President Donald Trump recently launched TrumpRx.gov, a federally operated website to help individuals buy prescription medications at discounted cash prices. The website boasts savings for popular GLP-1s, including the Wegovy pill and injection, Ozempic and Zepbound. Medications for asthma and infertility are also available. At this time, the website does not sell or dispense drugs. Instead, TrumpRx.gov currently offers coupons for drug discounts. Patients can access the drugs through the instructions shown for each drug offer.

Through TrumpRx.gov, patients will be able to access discounts on 43 of the most popular and highest-priced medicines in the country, paying prices in line with the lowest paid by other developed nations (known as the most-favored-nation [MFN] price). This launch features drugs from the first five manufacturers to reach MFN pricing agreements with the Trump administration, including AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, EMD Serono, Novo Nordisk and Pfizer. Additional drugs from 11 other companies that have signed MFN pricing deals will be made available through TrumpRx.gov in the coming months. The discounts range from 33% off Pfizer’s Xeljanz (which treats ulcerative colitis) to 93% off Cetrotide (used in fertility treatments).

The vast majority of Americans have health insurance and likely won’t need to use TrumpRx. Implications of MFN are still unclear, and in some cases, a medication may be cheaper with insurance.

Benefits Takeaways From Trump’s SOTU Address

President Donald Trump delivered the first State of the Union (SOTU) address of his second term. For employers, the SOTU address often provides insight into proposed plans and initiatives relevant to the workplace. Although the 2026 SOTU did not introduce major new benefits-related legislation, Trump did signal potential changes.

The 2026 SOTU did not introduce major new benefits-related legislation, Trump did signal potential changes. Trump announced plans to offer about 40 million working Americans access to a retirement account similar to those available to federal workers who don’t have a 401(k) or similar employer-based retirement account. The structure would mirror the Thrift Savings Plan used by federal employees, with short-term treasuries and index‑based investment options. The White House said it would expand on the Secure Act 2.0, which offers workers who already have retirement accounts up to $1,000 in matching funds if they contribute $2,000 of their own money. The proposal would expand these benefits to millions of Americans.

In addition, Trump did not make any formal announcements in the SOTU regarding health care mandates, Affordable Care Act changes, paid family leave or employer compliance requirements. He emphasized health care affordability and claimed his administration’s previous proposals, such as the Great Healthcare Plan, would reduce drug prices and “make federal payments directly to people,” suggesting a possible shift toward individualized health care subsidies. Trump did not discuss in detail his administration’s policy changes at the agency level.

Employers should look for more details about proposals mentioned in the SOTU in the coming weeks and months. While some of the discussed initiatives, such as health care costs and tariffs, could affect employee benefits, their effects won’t be evident until more information is released.
