Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told a Senate Finance Committee hearing that President Donald Trump uses a "different way" of calculating drug price reductions, a defense that drew quick ridicule from mathematicians and Democratic senators. Kennedy appeared before the committee to discuss the Department of Health and Human Services budget request for fiscal year 2027. The hearing's defining moment came when Sen. Elizabeth Warren pressed him on claims that the TrumpRx program had cut prescription costs by as much as 600 percent.
