Trump announces all 50 states joining Medicaid most favored nation drug pricing model
President Donald Trump is set to announce that all 50 states will join a Medicaid program providing most favored nation pricing for certain prescription drugs, aligning U.S. drug prices with those paid in other developed countries. The White House estimated savings of $529 billion over 10 years, though experts say the savings are difficult to verify because deal details are not public. The announcement comes ahead of the November 2026 midterm elections with affordability as a top voter concern.
