Trump is on Bloomberg now talking anbout pharma. Lowering the costs and speeding the approval process is the positive, ending the higher prices is the negative.

It's very easy to say they will improve the process, but as with everything the actuality may be somewhat harder

Pharma spend represents about 16% of the entire US healthcare budget

Much of the increase looks to be coming from hospital costs and in particular tests,

There are some shocking cases of price gouging on generics,
there is no getting away from that, the Guardian ran a recent story

Would need to check the exact stat but from memory GSK had a -2-3% price
decrease on their prescribed US medications in 2016, that is the mean average.

Couldn't resist adding some more at 1515p support, defensive qualities should attract buyers as the general markets start to roll over from the highs.
