| Popis: | During the Trump administration, members of Congress and the administration proposed the introduction of international reference pricing (IRP) to Medicare in order to reduce US drug spending by benchmarking prices to those in other countries. Many other countries currently use IRP. We examined how US policy proposals compare with the implementation of IRP in the countries that would be referenced by the United States. Nearly two-thirds of comparator countries use IRP but also use other price negotiation strategies. The congressional proposal was most like the approach used by other countries, while the Trump administration's proposals took an uncommon approach to IRP by not adopting additional pricing strategies. |
