GoodRx vs TrumpRx What's the REAL difference? The underlying program is the same... but GoodRx has discounts on 6,000 drugs while TrumpRx has discounts on only 43... And not my prescription...




*AI Overview* GoodRx is a broad, independent consumer service offering discounts on thousands of drugs, while TrumpRx is a specialized, government-initiated, and a GoodRx-powered platform focusing on a limited set of brand-name drugs. GoodRx offers a wider range of options, including generics, whereas TrumpRx focuses on, and sometimes has higher prices than, alternatives found elsewhere.

Key Differences Between GoodRx and TrumpRxScope and Drug Selection: GoodRx provides discounts for over 6,000 medications. At its launch, TrumpRx only covered 43, mostly brand-name, medications, primarily focusing on drugs from manufacturers that agreed to specific, government-negotiated deals.

“Trump Rx” is just a Re-Skin of the GoodRx program...

Occupy Democrats

BREAKING: Trump’s new “TrumpRX” drug program gets IMMEDIATELY exposed as a scam!

Surprise, surprise! The president held a big to-do yesterday at the White House where he boasted about how, for example, with his new Trump RX program, “they’re slashing the price of a common inhaler from $458 to $51, a difference of nearly 800%.”

First, off, Donnie, that is not an 800% difference. It is 88%. But that’s not the point.

While Trump billed the program as the result of his masterful negotiations with drug companies, users quickly realized that “Trump Rx” was just a reskin of the GoodRx program...that only had about 50 prescriptions available, with prices more expensive than could be found in other places.

For some drugs, like weight-loss drugs like Wegovy, the “savings” were a straight-up scam. TrumpRX boasts that it’s taking the price from $1,349.02 to just $199 — but if you read the fine print, it clearly says it’s just $199 for the first two months, then the price jumps to $349 a month.

For something like an inhaler, the TrumpRX lists it for $51 — but when you click on it, you are taken directly to the AstraZeneca website to see if you qualify for a hardship program that they ALREADY HAD.

All the drugs available are already covered by health insurance, which TrumpRX does not accept.

“TrumpRx is a side show,” Sean D. Sullivan, a health economist at the University of Washington, said to the New York Times. “I consider it not a real, serious effort in service to lowering prescription drug prices for Americans.”

Who could have seen THAT coming?



U.S. Democratic Socialists

BREAKING: TrumpRx is already a complete DISASTER, ripping off thousands of gullible, angry MAGAdiots.

Trump bragged Ozempic will drop from $1,000 to $199… a 578% difference. But then math and reality got in the way.

Users are quickly finding out what Trump tried to bury. Software sales professional Dan Gleason noted the so-called "amazing discounts" apply only to new patients and only for two refills. After that, prices jump hundreds of dollars.

Erin Ryan of Crooked Media didn’t mince words, writing, “Can science invent an injection that makes lazy adults understand basic math.”

Author Tracy Solomon added, “Aside from Trump needing a calculator, he also forgot to mention this is an introductory price only. There should always be captions with facts and added information while he speaks.”

This is the same Trump who has spent years promising he alone could fix drug prices, attacking critics as liars, and boasting about “historic” wins that vanish under scrutiny.

Once again, the reality is smaller, weaker, and rigged for headlines, not patients. This is not reform. It is theater, wrapped in deception, serving the same corrupt system that always protects the powerful while regular people are left paying the price.

That is what you get from buying your miracle meds from Dr. Trump

Don’t EVER let Republicans tell you they care about the 1st amendment or free speech in ANY way. I saw that massive hypocrite Tucker Carlson droning on about free speech while Republicans go on a book banning spree, shutting down libraries in many locations. It’s always a good sign when they start banning books, right? MAGA seems to be VERY into cancel culture now despite previous whining about it just wasting boycott power on utter nonsense. I’ve seen they now wanna put a positive spin on slavery too….which is HORRIFIC and terrifying. That is how you repeat the worst moments in history; when you learn propaganda instead of cold, hard, sobering facts. They’re suddenly too sensitive to learn true American history so who’s a snowflake now? #Hypocrisy

Little Known Facts about Record Players...
Wooden Gramophone - antique Record Player


On FaceBorg SE Said: 
Whenever I would get a new record player back in the day, the first thing I would do was replace the needle with a diamond needle. My dad taught me this, and my older brother did the same thing. Most record players came with a sapphire needle, but a diamond needle was better. I can remember my parents getting me a new record player for Christmas one year, and they gave me a diamond needle as a separate gift to go along with it. I suspect that the fact that I exclusively used diamond needles is one of the reasons all of my old records are still in pristine condition, even after all these years. I prided myself on taking excellent care of my records, and it seems they really do last forever if you take care of them.
Another thing my dad taught me back then was that pre-recorded cassette tapes had poor sound quality, so I always bought the vinyl record and made my own cassettes to play in the car, using high quality cassette tapes. I remember that Maxell was my favorite cassette brand, and Memorex was my least favorite. Those cheap pink and yellow Memorex cassettes were pretty to look at, but terrible sound quality. So even though pink and yellow was always one of my favorite color combinations, I resisted the temptation to buy those cassettes. But even if you used the highest quality cassettes, they didn't last forever like record albums. This is another reason why I'm glad I recorded my own rather than purchasing pre-recorded cassettes. My record albums are still good to this day, but my cassettes have all gotten lost over the years. I hung onto some of them for a long time, but they do lose sound quality over time.
I later started purchasing CD's and recording those onto cassettes, until I got a CD player for my car. Then I no longer needed to buy cassettes. Nowadays, I still drive an older car which has a CD player. I don't buy a lot of albums anymore because I can listen to most music on YouTube any time I want. But when I really like something and want to be able to listen to it in the car, I buy the album on iTunes and then immediately burn it onto a CDR so I can play it in my car.

and SRC Said: 
I don't listen to enough music, being obsessed with sports, sportstalk and NPR, but sometimes, like when I read, music IS the answer!

and SE Replied: 
I don’t listen to music as much as I used to. I do have a radio on my desk at work, but I listen to Mark Thompson and Nikki Medoro’s shows on the internet. But I really, really wish I could listen to them on the radio. I hope we get a local news talk station again someday. We really need one.

and SD Said:
I listen to music ALL THE TIME. A few of my favorite artists have Patreon accounts and I occasionally buy their digital collections on USB (even though I already have access to all of it) and give it as gifts.

and I Replied:
I did not know that! and I worked at Radio Shack where we sold record players and NEEDLES... we did a LOT of business selling needles... and had a Massive Needle replacement chart...

Everybody knows by Leonard Cohen:
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah, when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows

Every once in a while, it’s good to get an update on the state of the world from someone with a point of view a bit more enlightened than some periodical or the evening news. Leonard Cohen delivered just such an update on his 1988 classic “Everybody Knows,” a song that was thrillingly comprehensive in its overview then and somehow remains chillingly accurate now about the threats facing this planet and the foibles of the poor fools who inhabit it.


Cohen is not alone in deserving credit for this cynical masterpiece. He wrote the lyrics and handed them off to his former backing singer Sharon Robinson in the first of what would become many songwriting collaborations between the pair. Speaking to Uncut magazine, Robinson remembered the approach she took once she got a hold of the Canadian Bard’s words. “”It’s a protest song, so Leonard wanted something tough,” she said. “I’d bring home verses, and go to the grand piano in my living room, as his lyrics require that purity of melody.”


The song was included on an album (I’m Your Man) which found Cohen delving deeply into a synthesizer-based sound. The synths on “Everybody Knows” lurch forward into the abyss while Cohen’s voice booms forth with its warnings as if it belonged to an ancient oracle. Some flashy Spanish guitar adds just the right counterpoint to the arrangement, keeping the music from getting too somber.


Cohen doesn’t waste any time with tact or restraint, setting the tone in his opening lines: “Everybody knows that the dice are loaded/Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed/Everybody knows that the war is over/Everybody knows the good guys lost.” This generalized overview soon gives way to more specific concerns, as the relentless lyrics touch on greed, racism, and drugs. One verse seems to specifically reference the AIDS crisis, then at its height, as Cohen sings of a coming plague, meters to count sexual partners, and how “the naked man and woman/Are just a shining artifact of the past.”


Yet he also brings things down to a personal level with a verse about infidelity between two lovers. “Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful/Ah, give or take a night or two,” he sings. And it wouldn’t be a Cohen song if he didn’t bring spiritual concerns into it, with references to Calvary (juxtaposed ironically with Malibu beaches) and the Sacred Heart. Whether that heart belongs to Jesus or Leonard is never revealed, but, at song’s end, it’s poised to explode all over the whole sordid scene.


Cohen also makes room for flashes of mischievous wit, like when he implies that the death of a parent and the death of a dog are equally disturbing. Running through this litany of horrors is a subtle criticism of those who ignore it all in favor of their own self-interested pursuits: “Everybody’s talking to their pockets/Everybody wants a box of chocolates/And a long-stemmed rose.”


The repetition of the title phrase suggests that Cohen has not been blessed with some unique power of perception, but that these truths should be evident to anyone who walks through the world with even an ounce of coherence. “Everybody Knows” may not deliver news on the state of the world that anyone would want to hear, but, thanks to Cohen’s eloquent words and seductive delivery, you never tire of listening to it.
