> The main element of the plan is thought to include raising the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) cost-effectiveness threshold by 25%, which has been unchanged since 1999. Under current rules, NICE considers a medicine costing between £20,000 and £30,000 for every extra year of good-quality life it delivers to a patient to represent good value for money for the NHS.
Wait, that threshold has not changed since 1999? Holy fuck double it.
This would be the same trump that farage went with his hat in his hands to in order to beg for campaign funding right.
Or is that the other pedophile.
Not sure why we as Brits feel entitled to bargain prices for the products of another country’s private sector..?
What’s an extra £30bn a year to bow down to the US bullies, am I right?

Anyone else feel like we should just break copyright and produce our own drugs at cost price?
Surely that’s the moral thing to do by putting people before profit.
It would be best if the government increases the patent application fee exponentially for foreign based companies to offset this cost (if they don’t pay it UK can then make their own version)
Trump’s certainly causing this to happen *now*, but something similar was always going to happen.
The NHS has historically been very good at utilising their leverage to negotiate prices. It’s one of the reasons why the NHS only spends around half as much on drugs as France, Germany or Spain.
But while using your leverage to such a degree is excellent for the average person, it meant that the first moment anything broke the leverage the NHS held, the companies all started acting up. Even the non-American ones.
Turns out, businesses want to make more profit regardless of the effects on the average person. Nobody was surprised. I’d hope, at least.
Seems like Ursula might slip to 2nd place soon on the pharma company corruption list.
I suppose that’ll mean a 25% increase in prescription charges 🙄
I hate this timeline. Please remember that Farage is our Temu Trump when you vote.
At least we are back to hating big pharma.
Its was cringey as fuk when everyone was worshipping them during covid. They are scum companies making insane profits on peoples health. Fuck them.
We historically have spent close to 15% of our healthcare budget on pharmaceuticals up until very recently where we have squeezed it down to 9%. The rest of the developed world pay 15-20%.
Spending 12% would still be getting a good deal for the NHS, without totally fucking over our own pharma industry as we are currently.
