Government is committed to reducing drug prices if re -elected

The federal government hired to reduce drug Prices if they are real, because the pharmaceutical benefits scheme is targeted by American lobbyists.

The Albanian government claims that Australians will save $ 200 million a year, in accordance with its plan to reduce the maximum PBS drug prices from $ 31.60 to $ 25.

The promised reduction, which will be announced today, will be fully disclosed in the federal budget next week.

It will enter into force from January 1 next year if the Government is re -elected.

The coalition also said that it will meet politics.

A person could save up to $ 235 a year under revised prices.

Where Australia is in countries with the highest health freedoms

However, the announcement comes against the background of Australia PBS’s fears could become a target in a new round of American rates.

The US pharmaceutical giants oppose government subsidies and said that PBS is one of several “improper and discriminatory price policies” in a new deposit at the White House.

The government and the opposition were hired to remove the PBS from the table in negotiations on the tariffs with the Trump administration.
