Now that covid has us thinking about healthcare and new drugs, you may be interested in why drugs are more expensive in the US & how rest of world helps Americans afford new treatments. I wrote this before I wrote my book. Hope you enjoy the analogies. link.medium.com/uAQxYyz0t5
That’s just one article of a series I wrote on what I considered to be the Biotech Social Contract and what later became my book The Great American Drug Deal. thegreatamericandrugdeal.com
I picked this article because I thought it might be of interest to those of you up at this hour in Europe & Asia.
And I know some will say that it’s America that subsidizes innovation for the rest of the world. That’s true too. But do give the article a read and see if looking at it the other way doesn’t cause you to appreciate why the US should stop thinking it can pay what the UK pays.
