00:00President Trump and the Republicans slashed health care for millions of families.
00:04The president pitched his Trump Rx website as the answer for Americans who are worried about health care costs.
00:13He claims that Trump Rx has reduced prices by as much as 600 percent.
00:20600 percent, which I think means companies should be paying you to take their drugs.
00:26But let's do some real math here.
00:28Take one drug, Protonix.
00:32A 30-day supply of this heartburn medication costs $200 on Trump Rx.
00:38But there is an identical generic version of this pill called Pantoprazole.
00:46Secretary Kennedy, do you know how much it costs for a 30-day supply of that drug at Costco?
00:53But I would say this, Senator.
00:56Do you know what it costs?
00:57But President Trump has a different way of calculating.
01:01There's two ways of calculating percentage.
01:03If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to 10, that's a 600 percent reduction.
01:08I understand that you know I only have five minutes.
01:10Do you know what the drug costs at Costco?
01:15I do not.
01:17The drug is $16 at Costco.
01:21Trump Rx charges $200 for Protonix and Costco charges $16.
01:28Let's do another one.
