Decades of strict price controls drove R&D investment out of Europe – and Germany is now doubling down with even tougher measures. @Dleonard_DC and @KMAndersonDC break down what this means as the U.S. considers similar policies, and why we can't afford to repeat Europe's mistakes.

IP misconceptions often dominate the drug affordability debate. In reality, patents and data exclusivity support the cost and risk of developing new medicines and ultimately enable the generic and biosimilar competition that expands access. Read more: weworkforhealth.org/post/myt…

As policymakers weigh MFN and other pricing proposals, experts warn of potential ripple effects across the U.S. biopharma ecosystem, from early-stage research to patient access. New insights from leaders across biotech, venture capital and policy highlight the risks to investment, innovation and long-term competitiveness.

Policies intended to accelerate access can undermine innovation if they weaken the intellectual property systems that sustain drug development in the first place. Henry Hadad of @bmsnews examines how recent EU IP reforms could reshape investment decisions and ultimately limit patient access to future therapies: weworkforhealth.org/post/pro…

New Jersey is home to one of the world's leading life sciences hubs – supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs and fueling billions in economic activity. MFN pricing puts this all at risk and would limit patient access to medicines, reduce R&D investment, and slow the next generation of cures.

Some policymakers want to double down on the IRA with MFN pricing. @USCSchaeffer analysis has shown why that’s risky: Government price controls don’t reliably lower costs for seniors, but they do weaken U.S. innovation and boost global competitors like China. weworkforhealth.org/post/mos…

Europe spent years undermining its own pharma sector with misguided price controls – and is now scrambling to recover. The lesson for U.S. policymakers is clear: don't make the same mistakes. Check out our latest blog to learn more: weworkforhealth.org/post/eur…

As WWFH Executive Director @DLeonard_DC warned in a recent op-ed, “today’s public investments in basic science are tomorrow’s cures.” With China advancing through sustained state-backed investment, the U.S. cannot afford to lose ground in biopharma innovation. biospace.com/policy/opinion-…
