This is the subject from my article today Evidence baseA fraction is down:
On May 12, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order for the “most preferred nation” (MFN) drug pricing in the US. The main questions you include:
▪ What is MFN pricing?
▪ Which countries will be included in the MFN basket?
▪ How low drug prices are in East-US vs. America?
▪ How should I evaluate MFN? What is the overall goal of drug pricing?
▪ Why do drug prices vary by the country? Is this a good thing?
▪ What has happened when other countries have implemented international reference pricing?
Let us answer each of these questions one by one. I have included some major readings to help motion fast on the issue.
