00:00President Trump's big swing at the country's sky-high drug price problem, TrumpRx, is up and
00:06running. The White House is calling the new government-backed website promising massive
00:11discounts on prescription meds a breakthrough. So who will actually benefit? TrumpRx currently
00:17lists 43 brand-name drugs, some prices slashed by more than 90 percent. Super popular weight
00:24loss meds lead the charge, with Mugovie discounted up to 89 percent, Ozempic cut by as much as 81 percent,
00:31and Eli Lilly's ZepBound marked down roughly 72 percent. TrumpRx also includes fertility treatments,
00:37diabetes and thyroid drugs, plus medications for respiratory, autoimmune, and hormone and mental
00:42health conditions. But there's a catch. TrumpRx doesn't sell the drugs directly. It sends patients
00:49to pharmacies with cash payment discounts and manufacturer coupons. These deals usually don't
00:55count toward insurance deductibles, meaning the big winners here are uninsured patients or those
01:00willing to pay cash.
