  1. Drug Giant Eli Lilly Shuns Subsidised Medication Listing, Citing Unfair Price

    Eli Lilly refused to list its diabetes drug Mounjaro on Australia's PBS because the government's offered price was too low. This affects 450,000 Australians with Type 2 diabetes.

  2. Eli Lilly's decision means Mounjaro won't be subsidised on Australia's PBS. This affects around 450,000 people with Type 2 diabetes who might not get cheaper access to the drug.

    A bad deal for the UK, as drug prices will be forced up.

    Pharmaceutical companies hate the bargaining power that the NHS enjoys because of its centralized purchasing system and will be delighted to see the UK government buckle under the US attack.

    The zero tariff agreement - even if the the Trump administration keeps its side of the bargain - will benefit corporations rather than patients.

    A bad day for the National Health Service and for the UK as a whole. A bad day for other countries too, as the Trump administration will certainly take this as a sign that bullying works when it comes to drug pricing.🙁

  5. Cutting prices on drugs with 5-600%... So either americans will be paid way more than they are paying today to get their drugs, or your president does not understand percentages. He has done this before, so it is not a mistake. Trump can't count. How is this accepted?

  6. An attempt to import foreign price controls?

    Argument: “By undercutting manufacturers’ ability to set #prices for their products, ‘Most Favored Nation’ could reduce access to novel drugs in America, slow innovation & disrupt the market incentives that deliver the low-priced generic drugs that account for the vast majority of prescriptions in this country (the #USA ).

  21. Read Bob's @STAT investigation from last year, which was quoted in the suit.

    PBMs are paying consultants to refer business to them, which is a conflict of interest that may cost employers who use a consultant to get the the "best" deal on pharmacy benefits:

  23. Today's big news was that #CVS is changing to essentially a #costplus model, which sounds a lot like Mark Cuban's company.

    But #drugpricing experts say the program appears designed to pad CVS’ own bottom line rather than making drugs cheaper for patients and employers.

    “When you notice that this was announced on investor day, I think we know who their audience is with this."
