AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Biden administration announced Tuesday it is beginning talks with drug makers behind 10 expensive medications to lower prices for recipients of Medicare, the national health insurance program for older Americans and people with disability status. The negotiations are expected to last until 2024, with the lower prices expected to go into effect in 2026. The Congressional Budget Office "estimated that price negotiation will lower average drug prices paid by Medicare and will reduce the budget deficit by $25 billion in 2031." "Negotiating provides us a critical tool to ensure they get those prescription drugs at lower prices – just as the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has done for years." AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Biden administration has recently taken aim at high drug prices and high profits at pharmaceutical companies.

Also included is diabetes treatment Jardiance, which was used by nearly 1.6 million Medicare enrollees and had a 2022 out-of-pocket cost per enrollee of $490. In all last year, 9 million seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries paid more than $3.4 billion on these 10 drugs alone, the White House said. “For decades, drug companies in America made record profits while big pharma worked to block Medicare from being able to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors. Even with with Tuesday's prescription drugs announcement, however, the process could still be complicated by lawsuits from drugmakers and sharp criticism from Republicans. Biden noted that the drug manufacturers' agreeing to participate followed a court decision allowing Medicare price negotiation plans to move forward.

A pharmacist holds a bottle of the drug Eliquis, made by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, at a pharmacy in Provo, Utah, January 9, 2020. All drugmakers of the first 10 medicines selected for Medicare drug price negotiations have agreed to participate in the talks, even after many of them sued to halt the process last month. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services did not immediately respond to a request to confirm that all drugmakers agreed to the talks. President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, which passed last year, empowered Medicare to negotiate drug prices for the first time in the program's six-decade history. The pharmaceutical industry also argues that the process will threaten revenue growth, profits and drug innovation.

U.S. President Joe Biden delivers remarks on Social Security and Medicare at the University of Tampa in Tampa, Florida, U.S. February 9, 2023. The ruling is the first to come from multiple lawsuits by drug companies and industry groups challenging the program. The drug price negotiation program is part of the Inflation Reduction Act, which Biden, a Democrat, signed last year. The Biden administration has repeatedly said there is nothing in the Constitution that prohibits drug price negotiations. Many other countries already negotiate drug prices.

A pharmacist holds a bottle of the drug Eliquis, made by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, at a pharmacy in Provo, Utah, January 9, 2020. A federal judge on Friday declined to block the Biden administration from implementing Medicare drug price negotiations, upholding for now a controversial process that aims to make costly medications more affordable for older Americans. That date is the deadline for manufacturers of the first 10 drugs selected for negotiations to agree to participate in the talks. Newman also gave the Biden administration until Oct. 27 to renew its motion to dismiss the case. The ruling from Newman is a blow to the pharmaceutical industry, which views the process as a threat to its revenue growth, profits and drug innovation.

Patients with private health insurance aren't likely to see a drop in costs from the negotiations. Longo said the price-setting provisions will drive research and investment away from treatment options for Medicare patients. If drug companies won't come to the negotiating table to lower drug prices paid by private insurers, those insurers could take the companies' drugs off their lists of covered medications. Or, if private insurance companies don't negotiate drug prices down for their patients, patients in some cases could seek out different insurance. "These are not full solutions, but they are the beginning of cracks in the facade" of drug companies' constant price hikes, Feldman said.

Three-quarters of Americans, or 76%, favor allowing the federal health care program for the elderly to negotiate prices for certain prescription drugs. Americans are split on how Biden is handling the issue of prescription drug prices — 48% approve, making it a relative strong point for Biden, but 50% disapprove. Even among the Americans who support allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, approval of Biden’s handling of the issue remains relatively tepid. "They kept prescription drug prices high to increase their profits. “Well, we did it.”Ellen Daily, a 73-year-old retiree in Carrollton, Texas, said she strongly favors allowing Medicare to negotiate on drug prices.

Many view healthcare as a defensive sector because it has constant demand and is somewhat insulated from the economy. In the latest week, investors pulled a net $1.4 billion from the sector, the biggest weekly outflow since May 2022. Overall, the healthcare sector - which ranges from health insurers like UnitedHealth to pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer to small biotechs - has received the third largest inflows of any sector year to date, BofA's data showed. This would weaken the case for loading up on healthcare stocks. Overall, healthcare sector earnings are expected to lag this year as COVID-related revenues decline 13% versus a 1.8% rise for the overall S&P 500.

In a textbook free market, “fair” is whatever the market will bear. But these drugs don’t fit that model. Patents protect them from competition, allowing their producers to price them high. On the other hand, because of their high upfront development costs, pricing the drugs very low, at marginal cost, would be unrealistic. If that’s all the manufacturers earned from them, they would have no incentive to stay in business and develop new drugs.

Eli Lilly's revenue from Jardiance — which it markets alongside privately held German biotech firm Boehringer Ingelheim — is likely to suffer due to Medicare negotiations. Compared to those growth drivers, Jardiance is a minor character in the Eli Lilly investment story. However, the deceleration is not entirely due to likely lower realized prices from Medicare negotiations. Eli Lilly looks "relatively protected" from early Medicare negotiations, BMO's Seigmerman said. Eli Lilly headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, US, on Wednesday, May 3, 2023.

But analysts say the drug price talks will likely have a muted financial impact on manufacturers, at least for this first round of prescription medicines. More broadly, some of the drugs on the list aren't significant contributors to their company's business in the first place. "The commercial impact of negotiations appears limited in the near term for this initial list of drugs," Mara Goldstein, managing director of Mizuho Securities, told CNBC. The list names drugs with the highest spending for Medicare Part D, which covers prescription medications, from June 2022 to May 2023. Several drugmakers, including a handful whose medications are on the list, have filed lawsuits in different federal courts seeking to stop the negotiations.

He said that once implemented, the prices on negotiated drugs will decrease for up to 9 million seniors who currently pay as much as $6,497 in out-of-pocket costs per year for these prescriptions. This kicks off the negotiation process for the 10 drugs whose new prices will go into effect in 2026. U.S. laws had prohibited Medicare from negotiating pharmaceutical prices as part of its prescription drug program that began about 20 years ago. CMS Director Dr. Meena Seshamani said Medicare plans to use a review process to make sure insurance companies keep clinically appropriate access to negotiated drugs. Two analysts said they expect the negotiated prices to move beyond Medicare and affect commercial markets for these drugs by 2026, when they come into effect.

What are the Medicare drug price negotiations? The Medicare agency, known as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), was previously forbidden by law from bartering prices with manufacturers. The negotiations must end by Aug. 1, and Medicare will publish its list of new prices on Sept. 1. The process will begin again in February of 2025, when CMS selects another 15 costly prescription drugs for negotiations, with new prices on those going into effect in 2027. All the lawsuits seeking to avoid drug price negotiations argue that the new law is unconstitutional.

Bottles of the drug Jardiance, made by Eli Lilly and Company, sit on a counter at a pharmacy in Provo, Utah, January 9, 2020. Two blood thinners and a diabetes medication are the drugs most widely used by Medicare beneficiaries among a list of 10 drugs that will be subject to price negotiations between manufacturers and Medicare. The list names drugs with the highest spending for Medicare Part D, which covers prescription medications, for the period from June 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023. Nearly 1.6 million Medicare enrollees used Jardiance during the same time period, according to the fact sheet. Medicare Part D also spent more on those three drugs during the time period than it did on the seven other medicines on the list.

White House inflicts Big Pharma ills

If just one or two big medications were going to be renegotiated, the industry could shoulder the change. The IRA, signed into law last year, allows Medicare to negotiate prices for some of its most costly drugs. Though specificities are unclear, a quick look at one of the biggest sellers under the program, blood thinner Eliquis, suggests Big Pharma could shoulder a discount. At 11 times earnings over the next 12 months, that’s less than 10% of the firm’s $205 billion market capitalization. Put this on the same multiple of 11 times, and it would be a $275 billion hit to the industry.

Though it is still unclear which 10 drugs Medicare will select, several pharmaceutical companies have already revealed in court filings that they expect four of their blockbuster medications to be targeted. Bristol-Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson , in separate filings, said their blood thinners Eliquis and Xarelto will be subject to the negotiations this year. The list price of Januvia has surged 275% since 2006, according to the AARP. Johnson & Johnson reported $2.47 billion in revenue from Xarelto. "More and more people face cost-sharing that is directly affected by drug price increases," Leigh Purvis, who analyzes health-care costs for AARP, told reporters on a call Thursday.

Bristol Myers Squibb on Friday sued the Biden administration over Medicare's new powers to slash drug prices, the third such lawsuit to be filed against the program in a matter of days. The lawsuit filed in federal district court in New Jersey argues the Medicare negotiations violate the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. Bristol Myers Squibb's arguments mirror those lodged last week by Merck , the first company to sue the federal government over the drug negotiations. The law is the central pillar in the Biden administration's efforts to control rising drug prices and was a major victory for the Democratic Party. Bristol Myers Squibb said its blood thinner Eliquis, used to treat clots and strokes, will be subject to the negotiations this year.

Here's the latest:ELECTRIC VEHICLE FRICTIONBiden's domestic policy is embodied in working to electrify roadways across the United States. Getting more electric vehicles on the roads is central to his climate change agenda, ensuring the vehicles are "Made in America" is part of his commitment to restore manufacturing jobs. But the IRA's consumer tax credits are tightly linked to the cars' and batteries being made in the U.S., roiling allies in Europe and Asia whose companies sell into U.S. markets. Instead, Japanese and U.S. officials struck a trade deal on electric vehicle battery minerals that expands eligibility for the $7,500 per vehicle EV tax credits in the IRA. NEW RACE FOR SUBSIDIESThe promise of corporate tax credits has renewed interest in investing in the U.S., and Europe has responded with subsidies of their own.
The Biden Administration’s signature drug pricing reform, part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), aims to save $25 billion through price negotiations by 2031 for Americans who pay more for medicines than any other country. The first ever Medicare drug price reduction process begins in September, when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services(CMS) identifies its 10 most costly drugs. Reuters has seen responses to CMS from five of the world's top drugmakers raising legal concerns with the law and the agency's proposed roadmap. Former CMS head Andy Slavitt, who now works at a venture capital company focused on healthcare, said the Medicare agency would have consulted lawyers. One said the Medicare roadmap, which did not go through a formal process with proposed and final rules, could be challenged in court for being unlawful as well.
Bristol Myers posts lower Q1 sales as Revlimid falls

April 27 (Reuters) - Drugmaker Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY.N) on Thursday said its first-quarter sales fell from last year, hurt by generic competition for its cancer drug Revlimid. The drugmaker also announced on Wednesday evening that its Chief Executive Officer Giovanni Caforio plans to step down from the role in November, to be replaced by the company's current Chief Commercialization Officer Chris Boerner. Analysts, on average, expected sales of $11.49 billion in the quarter, according to Refinitiv data. Bristol Myers said it earned around $2.05 a share in the quarter, excluding one-time items. Sales of Revlimid, which began facing generic competition last year, fell to $1.75 billion in the quarter, down 37% from $2.8 billion last year.

"We couldn't have the other parts of the IRA without this Medicare negotiation," said Sean Dickson, director of the West Health Policy Center, a non-partisan healthcare think tank. Eliquis, which Bristol Myers (BMY.N) shares with Pfizer (PFE.N), Ibrance, and Imbruvica, sold by AbbVie and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N), appear on every list. Pfizer, Novo Nordisk and J&J declined to comment on the likelihood their drugs would be included in the first round of negotiations.
