Analysis: Prices for Many Brand-Name TrumpRx Drugs Are Cheaper than the Average Price in Other Wealthy Countries, But Are Almost as Likely To Be More Expensive

Consumers who buy brand-name prescription drugs without an available generic or biosimilar at the prices available through the new TrumpRx website are about as likely to pay more as pay less for those drugs relative ... Show Full Article SAN FRANCISCO, California, Sept. 26 (TNSrep) -- KFF, an organization that says it is an independent source of health policy analysis, polling and in-depth news coverage, issued the following news release: * * * Analysis: Prices for Many Brand-Name TrumpRx Drugs Are Cheaper than the Average Price in Other Wealthy Countries, But Are Almost as Likely To Be More Expensive Sep 24, 2026 Consumers who buy brand-name prescription drugs without an available generic or biosimilar at the prices available through the new TrumpRx website are about as likely to pay more as pay less for those drugs relativeto the publicly listed prices available in other comparatively wealthy countries, a new KFF analysis finds.

The Trump administration has promoted the TrumpRx website as a way for consumers to get the lowest prices for prescription medications in the world, drawing on voluntary pricing agreements with drug manufacturers aimed at securing "Most Favored Nation" prices for American consumers. For many brand-name drugs listed on the website, TrumpRx directs consumers to manufacturers' discount coupons to get the drugs at a pharmacy without using insurance.

The analysis (https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/how-trumprx-brand-name-drug-prices-compare-to-other-countries/) compares the prices of 32 brand-name drugs listed on the TrumpRx website with those in other countries. Key findings include:

* For 17 of the 32 drugs, the TrumpRx price is lower than the average price in comparable countries. This includes five drugs for which the TrumpRx price is lower than the prices available in any of the other countries. Eight drugs have a price that is $100 less than the average in other countries.

* For the other 15 drugs, the TrumpRx price is higher than the average price in comparable countries. This includes 13 drugs for which the TrumpRx price is higher than prices available in any of the other countries.

* There are wide variations in the price differences between TrumpRx and other countries. For nine of the drugs, the prices on TrumpRx are at least double the average across other countries. This includes Enbrel, a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis; the TrumpRx price is $2,725 higher than the average across other countries ($3,354 versus $641).

This analysis compares the TrumpRx drug prices with available prices in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom for the brand-name drugs listed on the TrumpRx site (as of August 25, 2026) that do not have generics or biosimilars available in the U.S. and that had publicly available prices in at least one of the other nations. It does not compare the prices available on TrumpRx now to the prices that may have been available to consumers in the U.S. prior to its launch.

There is no one source of data for drug prices in other countries. In many cases, the publicly listed prices used in the analysis represent the price paid by the government's national health system, or similar entity, and not necessarily what a consumer living in the country and covered by its health system would pay.

The analysis also examines some of the factors that contribute to differences in prices across countries and through TrumpRx, including the role of government in setting drug prices. The analysis is available through the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, an online hub monitoring how well the U.S. health system is operating through cost and quality measures.

Show Full Article NEW YORK, Sept. 26 -- The Hispanic Federation, an organization that supports and strengthens Latino institutions through education, health, immigration, civic engagement, economic empowerment and the environment, issued the following news release: * * * Hispanic Federation: Supreme Court Ruling Puts Eligible Voters at Risk Weeks Before Election Day September 25, 2026 Washington, D.C. -- Today, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump Administration to resume using its expanded SAVE database to check the citizenship of registered voters, pausing a lower court ruling that found the system violatedfederal privacy protections. The tool has already made mistakes flagging eligible U.S. citizens as potential noncitizens. In some states, voters flagged by the system have had their registrations canceled. With the midterm elections just weeks away, many voters may not learn they've been wrongly removed until they show up to cast a ballot.

Below is a statement from Julietta Lopez, Vice President for Federal Advocacy and Network Engagement.

"The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy, and today's decision puts that right at risk for millions of eligible Americans, particularly naturalized citizens, Latino voters and low-income voters. Noncitizen voting is already illegal and exceedingly rare, yet the administration is deploying a flawed system with a documented record of errors that is operating without transparency or oversight. The Administration should be working to expand access to eligible voters, not creating another barrier.

Hispanic Federation opposes any policy that makes it harder for eligible citizens to vote, particularly when those policies are imposing a last-minute burden on working families. We urge state election officials to decline using this unreliable tool and call on Congress to enact safeguards against wrongful voter purges. States that put their voters through this system are, at best, forcing them to undergo unnecessary burdens of proving that they are citizens and, at worst, blocking their constitutional rights to participate in the upcoming midterms. All registered voters should check their registration status immediately. Every eligible voter deserves to have their ballot counted, and we will keep fighting to make sure it is."
