Ask a Pol asks:

Is TrumpRX working?

Key Marshall:

“Indeed it is working, and it’s not perfect. It doesn’t cover every drug, but people are seeing some significant savings, maybe 50%, 70%, 80% in some instances,” Sen. Roger Marshall exclusively tells Ask a Pol Politics.

Any fear a future Democratic President could expand it into socialized medicine?

“Yeah,” Marshall says. “There’s a downside to everything that the government does to get involved.”

“The real problem is the pharmacy benefit managers. Three of them are controlling 80% of the industry. They’re taking at least 58 cents on every dollar,” Marshall tells us. “That’s the real riddle that we need to solve up here.”
