It can’t get what it wants unless it asks

On April 15, President Trump issued an awaited executive order on drug pricing, kicking off a new frenzy among lobbyists and consultants.  That frenzy has gone into overdrive with the latest proposal from the White House to examine cuts to Medicaid drug reimbursement, slashing prices to extortionate levels foreign governments demand.

Unlike Trump’s first term, the pharmaceutical industry is in far more peril than it has ever been in, and the biotech industry needs to ask itself an important question: Where does it fit in Trump’s vision for a new American Golden Age?

The opportunity is there to lay out a compelling case that biotech should sit beside space commercialization, energy production, and technology as partners in Trump’s grand ambitions. If biotech misses the moment, it will be just another industry staggering about the rubble of decaying factories, wondering how it lost out to China.
