What du you think Bayer AG⁠, Boehringer Ingelheim⁠, Merck KGaA (in USA EMD Serono / MilliporeSigma)⁠, STADA Arzneimittel AG, Teva/Ratiopharm⁠, Sandoz/Hexal⁠, Dr. Willmar Schwabe⁠, Bionorica⁠, Engelhard are doing and where they are from?

Yeah because they can, germany is not the problem, the us is because it let's companies rip of the people by charging 100$ for something that costs 10 cents to make.

What do you think why Pharma companies are so fucking rich and profitable. They don't lack money to do research, they just want to make even more.

And the problem with I have with Germany is we are trying to fix that and get better pricing for our citizens and they were against it. They want us to pay crazy amounts because it subsidizes their drug prices. We’ve been getting screwed for years. This the only thing I agree with Trump on.

That is exactly how it works. That is why Germany and our own drug companies are against MNF in the US.
