Trump announces all 50 states joining Medicaid drug pricing model

The White House said the model will save Medicaid more than $64 billion over 10 years and cover hundreds of brand-name drugs.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump announced the expansion of the "Most Favored Nation" drug pricing model to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, aligning U.S. prescription costs with international rates.
  • Dubbed the Medicaid "GENEROUS" model, the initiative relies on agreements with global manufacturers including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk to secure lower prices comparable to other developed nations.
  • The White House Council of Economic Advisers projects the effort could save $529 billion over 10 years, including $27.6 billion in net savings for state governments and $36.6 billion in federal savings.
  • Kathy Hempstead, a senior policy advisor at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, warned that the lack of public deal details creates a barrier to legislative action and pressures the administration to release granular data.
