Charlie Kirk 2:01
Tell us the significance of President Trump's announcement and declaration today.
Dr. Marty Makary 2:06
Well, thanks, Charlie. Great to see you and good to be with you. So politicians have been talking about this for a long time. And this is one of those common sense things that nobody has been willing to actually do. And this is what I love about President Trump. Here you have Americans paying 10, 12 or 15 times more for the same medication. that Germans or British folks or people in France are getting at the lower price. And nobody has said, stop, wait a minute, what's going on here? By the way, sometimes these are American companies that are price gouging Americans as other wealthy nations get these sweetheart low prices. So the president has basically said no longer. And he's not saying it as a, you know, looking for small incremental changes here. He wants dramatic changes to create a level playing field. He wants to make sure Americans can get the same most favored nation status price that these other countries are getting.
Dr. Marty Makary 3:05
And I think you're going to see a real change in the price of these medications when you pick them up at the pharmacy and in the medical bill. Meaningful changes that are going to be pretty massive.
Charlie Kirk 3:17
So talk about what is most favored nation status. This sounds so rational. This sounds so common sense. Tell us what is favored nation status. And then, if you will, strongman the opposition argument as to what is some of the opposition we can expect now that this has been signed.
Dr. Marty Makary 3:36
Yeah, good point. So most favored nation status is a declaration that Americans deserve the best price of a medication that is sold to wealthy countries, what we call OECD countries. So we're not saying we need the price that... Yeah, Ethiopia has or other poor countries. We're saying we want the price that wealthy nations get. They negotiate prices. They have a free market. Why is the United States paying for all this R&D and upfront costs from basically price gouging Americans? Now, some will say that it will mean lower profits for pharma. Well, pharma has to figure out why they are charging such a lower price in other countries. They need to reconcile this massive disparity. And some might say that there might be less money for R&D. Well, I don't think so.
