It’s Trumps policy to make the rest of the world pay the same as America for drugs rather than America pay the same as the rest of the world. The pharmaceutical industry in America is a major lobbyist spending millions of dollars doing so and they’ve been lobbying for drug pricing to be part of...

Ahh. The Poll Tax Riots. Happy days.

I’m glad you make this point because the concern is that the American pharmaceutical industry aided by Trump will force the same pricing structure on the NHS as part of a trade agreement that the US currently “enjoys”. That would mean that that the NHS budget for drugs would have to rise based...

That was Amira Abase’s dad.

Corbyn asked Boris for comment on the C4 Despatches investigation into secret meetings with the American pharmaceutical industry during PMQ. Boris predictably changed the subject.

Deep state communist for sure.

I think unfortunately for him was that IIRC his last budget was delivered with a declaration of this is the end of boom and bust. He became PM shortly after and then shortly after that we went bust, following a boom.

This is something I don’t get. The type of people who have the mentality to do something as decent as being a teacher should be judged negatively on the same mentality because of where it’s led them politically. Doesn’t the fact that teachers tend to be left thinking and the fact that...

May was much further ahead in 2017 than Boris is at this moment in time in the polls. In fact just before she announced an election some polls had her in the late 40’s so with an allowable margin of error she could have claimed just over 50%. Ultimately it was Scotland that “saved” her neck that...

No. The link in the post you originally replied to of mine on this subject.

I gave you a link to a paper that explained it all but although you replied to it you clearly didn’t read it. You can take a horse to water and all that. It’s basically every drug. Some are double the price, some are as high a six times what the British government currently pays for the exact...

It’s already 16 in U.K. crown dependencies such as the Isle of Man and the Channel Isles.

Drug costs should be a 'prominent issue' in Trump trade talks: Mount Sinai Health CEO

Did you see Despatches last night FP? If you did I’d love to hear your take on it with you being our NHS expert.

The problem is a lot of drugs are under the grip of the American pharmaceutical industry and if Trump pushes for the rest of the world paying the same as the US rather than the US paying the same as the rest of the world (already his confirmed stance) then it’s difficult to see how the supply of...

After watching Despatches last night so am I and so is the wife.

The US pharmaceutical industry is already spending millions lobbying Congress to give them control of prices as part of the US U.K. post Brexit trade deal and even before this as I’ve already pointed out to you is that Trumps answer to the US overpaying for drugs is to make everyone else pay the...

The funny thing is he wanted us to believe that the biggest political decision that this country is going to make in a lifetime could be rushed through Parliament in a couple of days but to change the voting age by two years is not possible before December.

Yes I know. And the American taxpayer isn’t happy with it.
