Billionaire Mark Cuban stood on the White House stage Monday alongside the man he spent the last year trying to keep out of the Oval Office.

The former "Shark Tank" star and outspoken Kamala Harris surrogate appeared beside President Donald Trump during the rollout of TrumpRx.gov, which is a new initiative aimed at lowering the cost of 600 generic prescription drugs.

Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs.

Have any of those drugs been vigorously tested after they were approved decades ago?

Many of these drugs have been around a long time and are out of copyright, so they can be sold cheap. Modern drug companies hate them cause they are still effective and cheap for many people.
