USA check drug prices in Germany

134

The USA now checks prices for medicine in Germany. Jamieson Greer says this. He is a boss for trade in the USA. The USA thinks: Germany pays too little for new medicine. People in the USA pay very much money. The high prices pay for research on new medicine.

Donald Trump is the president. He wants lower prices in the USA. He threatens Germany with new taxes on goods. A law from 1974 allows these checks. The USA used these taxes against China too. They spoke with Great Britain. There is now a deal.

Germany plans a new health law. This law saves money for health insurance. The pharma industry gets less money. The US government dislikes this. Big companies like Boehringer Ingelheim stop work in Germany. They do not want to invest money there anymore.
