CitizenVectron Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/u-s-canada-drug-prices-1.5552463 Quote The United States is keeping Canada on its "watch list" of countries where policies and practices could pose a threat to American intellectual property rights. In its annual report on foreign perils to American rights holders, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) raised concerns about Canada's plan to recalibrate how it calculates the price of prescription drugs. Why, you ask? Quote The federal Liberal government announced last summer that the arm's-length Patented Medicine Prices Review Board would stop using drug prices in the U.S. and Switzerland — among the highest in the world — to help it determine what Canadian patients should pay. In other words, the Trudeau government has decided that using US prices in calculations to determine a fair-market price is not valid since US drug prices are massively inflated.
