Dr. Roger Marshall, a U.S. Senator from Kansas and former obstetrician, shared a series of posts on his social media account between September 30 and October 1, 2025, focusing on prescription drug costs and ongoing debates in Congress.

On September 30, Dr. Marshall commented on a new initiative by the former president: "Huge win for America!

President @realDonaldTrump just launched TrumpRx today, slashing prescription drug costs.

Pfizer’s dropping prices via MFN deals, investing $70B in US manufacturing, and a new govt site lets us buy meds direct—cheaper than ever!

Thanks to President". The tweet refers to policy changes that include Pfizer lowering its prices through Most Favored Nation (MFN) agreements and significant investment in domestic manufacturing infrastructure.

Later that day, Dr. Marshall criticized Democratic leadership over congressional negotiations: "In the 11th hour, Chuck Schumer is playing politics. For months, @SenatorCollins and the Appropriations Committee have worked in good faith — now Democrats are using the CR to hijack the conversation.

The real crisis is our broken health care system. Let us fix it, not patch it https://t.co/VUK2O3x2Nt". He referenced efforts by Senator Susan Collins and the Appropriations Committee while expressing frustration with how continuing resolution (CR) discussions were being handled.

On October 1, Dr. Marshall continued his criticism of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer: "Tonight, Chuck Schumer chose his political livelihood over the American people.

Losing an election means you don’t get to make $1 trillion ultimatums. https://t.co/7B6Q8mfMDX".

These posts come amid ongoing debates about government funding measures in Congress and concerns about rising healthcare costs in the United States—a long-standing issue that has drawn bipartisan attention but remains unresolved.
