Trump pressures 17 pharma CEOs to cut U.S. drug prices
Pills spill in an arrangement photo of prescription Oxycodone in New York. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File) U.S. President Donald Trump sent letters to the leaders of 17 major pharmaceutical companies outlining how they should slash U.S. prescription drug prices to match those paid overseas, the White House said on Thursday. Trump signed a sweeping executive order in May demanding drugmakers cut U.S. medicine prices to match those abroad, saying that if companies did not comply, the government could use rulemaking to bring prices down or pursue other measures, such as importing cheaper medicines from overseas. Trump sent the letters to the chief executives of Eli Lilly, Sanofi, Regeneron, Merck & Co, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca, among others, the White House said. 'Most proposals my Administration has received to 'resolve' this critical issue promised more of the same; shifting blame and requesting policy changes that would result in billions of dollars in handouts to industry,' Trump wrote in the letters, copies of which were posted on his Truth Social account. Shares of Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Gilead Sciences closed down about two per cent each, while the NYSE Arca Pharmaceutical Index fell three per cent on Thursday. Trump called on drugmakers to provide so-called most-favored-nation prices to every patient enrolled in the government Medicaid health program for low-income people, and to guarantee such pricing for new drugs. The policy is aimed at cutting U.S. prescription drug prices to the lowest possible price paid by members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which includes most of the world's largest economies. Trump also said companies must return excess overseas revenue from raising prices in other countries to offset lower prices in the U.S. to American patients and taxpayers through an agreement with the government. He is requiring drugmakers to stipulate they would not offer other developed nations better prices than what they offer the United States, and said his administration would provide ways to cut out middlemen and sell directly to patients, provided they do so at most-favored-nation prices. Trump gave companies until Sept. 29 to respond with binding commitments to those terms. 'If you refuse to step up, we will deploy every tool in our arsenal to protect Americans from abusive drug pricing practices,' he warned. Analysts, lobbyists and drug pricing experts said it seemed unlikely that the pharmaceutical companies would comply with Trump's demand to lower U.S. prices. 'I might expect them to try to determine if any of their current products might be made available via direct sales (one of the requests) at a lower price than currently available in the U.S.,' said Stacie Dusetzina, professor of health policy at Nashville's Vanderbilt University. UBS analyst Trung Huynh said Trump's letters were a repeat of earlier demands and played down any likely industry impact, calling it 'just another shot in the dark.' Trump has already pushed for voluntary changes and some companies have pledged to build new U.S. manufacturing plants. U.S. patients pay by far the most for prescription medicines, often nearly three times more than in other developed nations. The country also invests heavily in pharmaceutical research and development. Drugmakers have said drastic price cuts would stifle innovation. Pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, Novartis, AbbVie, and German Merck KGaA's U.S. division, EMD Serono, said they were open to working with the Trump administration. Pfizer is working closely with the Trump Administration and Congress to improve access and affordability for American patients, said spokeswoman Amy Rose. 'Our discussions have been productive,' she said. Jeff Mason, Nandita Bose, Patrick Wingrove, Reuters

Trump administration to burn $13M worth of female contraceptives, despite NGO's offer to take them
The U.S. State Department plans to incinerate roughly $13.2 million worth of women's contraceptives despite offers from multiple aid agencies to distribute the supplies at no cost. The supplies, which include various forms of birth control, were intended for family planning programs in low-income African nations. Instead, they've been sitting in a warehouse in Belgium for months after President Donald Trump's administration froze most foreign aid in January. MSI Reproductive Choices, a U.K.-based global reproductive health organization, says it offered to take the supplies and distribute them to those in need at no cost to the government, but their offer was rebuked. "To me that sends a really clear signal that this is an ideological position," Sarah Shaw, MSI's director of advocacy, told As It Happens guest host Paul Hunter. "This is just another front on the war on women that we're currently seeing coming out of the U.S., both domestically and internationally." Shaw says MSI was told through an intermediary that the government wants to sell the products at market value, which the charity could not afford to do. The United Nations' sexual and reproductive health agency, UNFPA, offered to buy the contraceptives outright, also to no avail, according to Reuters. The U.S. State Department did not respond to questions from CBC. But spokesperson Tommy Pigott told reporters on Thursday the government is "still in the process of determining the pathway forward." Belgium calls it a 'regrettable outcome' The supplies, valued at $9.7 million US, once belonged to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which the Trump administration has shut down. During a press briefing on Thursday, Pigott said the supplies do not include condoms or HIV medication, but rather "select products" purchased under the previous administration that "could potentially be abortifacients," meaning products that induce abortion. But aid agencies and media organizations say the supplies slated for destruction are designed to prevent unwanted pregnancies, not terminate them. Reuters, citing seven confidential sources close to the story, reports the warehouse contains contraceptive pills and implants, as well as intrauterine devices, all of which are forms of birth control. Pigott said the products could be in contravention of the Kemp-Kasten amendment, which prevents the government from supporting programs that engage in "coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization," as well as the Mexico City policy, a pact that prohibits the U.S. government from contributing to or working with organizations that provide abortion-related services or information. The latter could explain why the U.S. declined MSI's offer, says Shaw. Her organization refuses to comply with the Mexico City policy, which she and other aid organizations refer to as "the global gag order." But it doesn't explain why they've rejected similar overtures from others trying to prevent the contraceptives from going to waste at taxpayer expense, she said. The Belgian foreign ministry said Brussels had held talks with U.S. authorities and "explored all possible options to prevent the destruction, including temporary relocation." "Despite these efforts, and with full respect for our partners, no viable alternative could be secured. Nevertheless, Belgium continues to actively seek solutions to avoid this regrettable outcome," it said in a statement. "Sexual and reproductive health must not be subject to ideological constraints." Uproar in France The State Department previously confirmed it will spend $167,000 US ($228,000 Cdn) to incinerate the contraceptives at a facility in France that handles medical waste. That news is not sitting well in France, where lawmakers, reproductive health organizations and feminist groups are calling on the government to call it off. "We are following this situation closely and we support the will of the Belgian authorities to find a solution to avoid the destruction of contraceptives," France's foreign ministry said in a statement published by the Guardian. "The defence of sexual health and reproductive rights is a foreign policy priority for France." WATCH | Global health funding in a state of crisis: U.S. foreign aid cuts fuelling 'era of global health austerity': study 15 days ago After the White House's push to dismantle the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) cancelled billions of dollars in spending for foreign aid, researchers say global health funding is expected to reach a 15-year low. Read more: Shaw says she's grateful to the people in France who are championing this cause. "Even if we can't stop the destruction we're not going to let this go quietly," she said. "If this happens on French soil under a government that has a feminist foreign policy, I think that would be a great shame, a great shame." Doctors Without Borders calls plan 'reckless and harmful' Avril Benoît, the CEO of Doctors Without Borders in the U.S., called the plan a "reckless and harmful act against women and girls everywhere." "Contraceptives are essential and lifesaving health products," she said in a press release. "[Our organization] has seen first-hand the positive health benefits when women and girls can freely make their own health decisions by choosing to prevent or delay pregnancy — and the dangerous consequences when they cannot." Shaw agrees. She says the U.S. has made a big deal about finding government efficiencies as it slashes global aid and its own civil service. But every dollar spent on reproductive health, she says, leads to much greater savings down the road. "It makes no sense to me. If they really want efficiency, investing in family planning is the best investment you can make for development," she said. "You keep girls in schools. You break generational cycles of poverty. You create opportunity for a new generation of young women.

Three factors will stall dementia and the aging process, according to new U.S. study
By 2050, over 1.7 million Canadians are projected to be living with dementia. This represents an increase of 187 per cent compared to 2020, when approximately 597,300 Canadians were living with dementia, according to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada. Article content Dementia describes the decline of mental ability, while Alzheimer's Disease is the medical term for the brain disease that commonly causes dementia. Article content Article content Researchers are now saying certain lifestyle changes can stave off mental decline. A new U.S. study sets out what Alzheimer's researchers are calling the strongest evidence yet regarding what is involved in slowing the aging process and improving cognition. Article content Article content It comes down to three key factors: a diet heavy on leafy greens, berries and grains, regular moderate exercise and ongoing social interaction. Regular cardiovascular monitoring is also a factor. Article content Jessica Langbaum, senior director of research strategy at the Banner Alzheimer's Institute in Phoenix was not involved directly in the research but she presented the findings at an annual conference of experts in Toronto on Wednesday. The Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) is the largest international meeting dedicated to advancing dementia science and clinical practice. This year's gathering brought together 8,000 scientists and clinicians from all over the world, with the goal of improving diagnosis, risk reduction and treatment. Article content Article content The study pulled together diet, exercise and socialization in one substantial, structured study of 2,100 people in their 60s and 70s at risk of developing dementia, showing that bad habits 'can really slow down memory and thinking' in adults at risk for cognitive impairment and dementia, Langbaum told the PBS New Hour in an interview on Wednesday evening. Article content The subjects who participated in the study changed their habits, shifting from a sedentary lifestyle to an active one and improving their diet over a two-year period, resulting in cognitive function scores on par with people one or two years younger. Article content That might not sound like much, but Langbaum says the results are significant evidence that change can occur without medication. 'And so, it's showing that we can change the trajectory of aging,' she said. Article content There were two groups in the study. In one, lifestyle changes were structurally prescribed. In the other, the changes were self-directed. The results for the prescribed group were much better, but Langbaum says both groups showed improvement.
