Nic @nschlut.bsky.social · 16/03/2026“You can only publish in JAMA and the NEJM if you show the exact same results as all the previous studies,” is, um…not the direction that particular bias works.

Nic @nschlut.bsky.social · 05/02/2026And, for last-gen medicines (like GLPs that have been on the market a few years already), this is just a bargain DVD bin. Their newest, most expensive drugs probably won’t be here. 000
Nic @nschlut.bsky.social · 05/02/2026For drug companies: this is fine! The amount of $ a drug company makes is complicated and involves a lot of middlemen expecting a cut and a discount. This cuts some of them out. The price you see on TrumpRx is probably a good proxy for what the drug companies had been clearing. 100
Nic @nschlut.bsky.social · 05/02/2026And, $ spent at TrumpRx is unlikely to count toward annual cap, so that saves insurers money. 200
Nic @nschlut.bsky.social · 05/02/2026From the insurers’ perspective: this is great! Some will be confused and not know to file for drugs that would have been covered; some (on expensive drugs like GLPs and biologics for autoimmune disorders) will drop insurance in favor of TrumpRx. 100
Nic @nschlut.bsky.social · 05/02/2026So, an insured person won’t use TrumpRx for most drugs. Notable exception: last-gen GLP1s may be cheaper on TrumpRx than with insurance. And, if your insurance has failed to pre-authorize a drug, maybe you’ll find a deal. But this was rolled out quick and we really don’t know how this will work. 110
Nic @nschlut.bsky.social · 05/02/2026This is essentially a list of cash prices, similar to if you used something like GoodRx or a manufacturer discount card. Some of these price negotiations began during Biden (after the IRA). You can’t use both insurance and TrumpRx (or GoodRx, etc.) 100
