$184 separates a 30-day medication listed at $200 on TrumpRx from an identical generic sold for $16 at Costco, Elizabeth Warren told Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at an April 22 Senate hearing.
Warren used the example to challenge how President Donald Trump is pursuing lower drug costs, despite saying she agrees "100 percent" with his goal of securing "most favored nations" pricing.
Her criticism centered on Trump's May 2025 executive order on prescription pricing, arguing the policy should be enacted through Congress rather than by unilateral presidential action.
The exchange underscores a split over method rather than objective, with Warren also drawing a broader parallel to her objections to Trump's handling of the Iran war.
