开玩笑!要是只差这点,美国制药公司就不会对加拿大这么大动肝火了。
慢性病或者新药的药费开支还是很大 ...
你说的估计是对的。我没有查到具体数据,但是generic药物相对于原研药的价格差这几年在加拿大确实是发生了变化:
“At the same time, Canadians have historically paid some of the highest generic drug prices in the world (Competition Bureau Canada 2007, 2008; PMPRB 2006, 2010). Canadian prices have traditionally been set using a percentage of the equivalent brand-name price as a ceiling. Typically, these percentages ranged between 60% and 70% of the brand price, but recent and controversial changes have moved these price ceilings lower in almost every province, to a nationwide low of 25% in Ontario (Moulton 2011). This price level is now being cited as a benchmark for other provinces (Government of British Columbia 2012). However, there is little information on whether this arbitrary percentage-based approach results in internationally competitive prices.”————http://www.longwoods.com/content/23208
我想美国药企的愤怒不在于在加拿大损失了多少,毕竟加拿大的市场还是有限:他们怕的是加拿大破坏游戏规则的行为会被其他地区效仿。
