内容摘要：Spoiler alert: He doesn’t. You would have heard about it by now. But he does dive deep into the historical record, and that’s where the book loses some momentum. At times it reads like an academic paper, as Synnott references the work of various historians through the years who have investigated the Franklin expedition. He takes us back nearly two centuries to recount Franklin’s career and what is known about his third attempt to map the Northwest Passage from 1845-1847.

As it stands, drug costs in the U.S. and other countries are not directly linked, though they can affect each other. Trump’s executive order establishes a “most favored nation” pricing model should drugmakers not voluntarily lower costs. This means that the U.S. would peg the cost of prescription drugs to the lowest prices in comparably developed countries. It’s unclear what — if any — impact the order will have on millions of Americans who have private health insurance. The federal government has the most power to shape the price it pays for drugs covered by Medicare and Medicaid.But the U.S. paying less for prescription drugs doesn’t mean other countries will automatically pay more. For example, Yarbrough explained that instead of agreeing to higher prices, other countries could simply enter into secret arrangements for increased discounts and then hide what they actually pay.

“We’re not in a static global pharmaceutical market,” she said.Manufacturers, wholesalers, PBMs and other members of the supply chain also have a motivation to maximize profits, not lower costs for consumers. In this spirit, manufacturers often use patents to make it impossible for cheaper versions of drugs to come to market. Although he repeatedly defended pharmaceutical companies at Monday’s news conference, Trump simultaneously threatened the companies with federal investigations into their practices.“There are no saints in this industry, these are all for-profit companies,” said Geoffrey Joyce, director of health policy at the University of Southern California’s Schaeffer Center. “Their incentives are all wrong. Everybody makes more money off of higher list prices, so they just push list prices up.”
