USA vs Germany drug pricing conflict  No.1520712
>The United States has launched a trade investigation into Germany
over its plans to cut spending on pharmaceuticals.
>U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer says the probe is looking into
whether Berlin's drug pricing policies are unfair or discriminatory towards American companies.
>The investigation comes under Section 301 of the U.S. Trade Act
and could lead to tariffs on German exports if Washington finds evidence of unfair practice.
>Germany is facing growing financial pressure on its public health care system
with a projected budget shortfall of around €20 billion.
>To help control the cost, Berlin has proposed measures that would require pharmaceutical companies
to offer larger discounts on expensive new drugs.
>However, the Trump administration argues that such policies allow countries like Germany
to access medicines at much lower prices,
>forcing American consumers to shoulder a disproportionate share of the cost of developing new medicines.
Just two months ago, Washington used these exact same trade threats
>to pressure the UK into a historic deal,
forcing the British government to effectively double its spending on new medicines
>to avoid American tariffs.

Boehringer Ingelheim is scaling back planned R&D investments in Germany in response to the proposed German legislation. I find this strange since it's a German company. I thought this was about American pharmaceutical companies.

It's hilarious that Trump is somehow "investigating" how Germany keeps drug prices low. This scares and confuses the capitalist grifter.

I don't think they're investigating how they keep the prices low. They know how they do it. The Germans are mandated to have public health insurance. The public health insurance is not allowed to pay any part of the price of a drug if the price is over a certain maximum. So this maximum price is what the drug companies have to abide by. Something like that. What exactly they're investigating I don't know, probably whether they are allowed to impose tariffs under the regulation that exists internally, in trade agreements etc.

pretty much this. US politicians on all sides are owned by Pharma (and others), and need that cash coming in no matter what. They have been systematically undoing everything that FDR accomplished to save this nation from the results of unregulated capitalism which resulted in the worst economic worldwide crisis in history about a hundred years ago.

FDR and LBJ built a safety net that makes the wealthy seethe.
