华盛顿(美联社)——美国总统特朗普周一发布了一项命令,要求药厂在30天内降低药费,否则政府将控制药价。

这个命令要求卫生部门,由小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪负责,在一个月内推动药品的新定价。如果谈不拢,肯尼迪将负责制定新的规定,让美国支付的药品价格和其他国家支付的较低价格一样。

特朗普总统周一上午说,美国和欧洲会为新冠病毒疫苗付一样的钱。

目前还不确定这位共和党总统的命令,会对有私人健康保险的几百万美国人带来什么影响,或者有没有影响。联邦政府在决定Medicare和Medicaid药品价格方面有很大的权力。

共和党控制的众议院提出了一个减少医疗补助开支的计划。特朗普很快就说,他会在药价上找到新的省钱方法,但具体怎么做还不确定。

代表美国大药厂的团体立刻反对特朗普的命令,他们认为这对美国病人很不好。药厂一直说,如果他们的利润减少,可能就会少花钱研究新药。

美国制药公司的负责人说,从其他国家购买药品对美国病人和工作人员不利。这可能会减少新药的研发,并影响公司在美国的投资计划。

特朗普想让美国政府在买药时,只付别的国家付的低价。这个想法从他第一次说出来就有很多反对意见。

这项行政命令遇到了很多问题,在拜登总统执政期间,法院下令暂停执行。医药公司认为,特朗普总统在2020年的这项尝试会让外国政府在决定美国药品价格时有更大的权力。

特朗普总统周一在白宫讲话,多次支持制药公司,并说美国药价高是其他国家造成的。

但是,他警告这些公司,会对它们的行为进行调查,并允许更多外国药品进入美国市场。

特朗普说,制药公司的大部分钱都来自美国,他觉得这样不太好。

特朗普在周末积极地宣传这个消息,他在一篇文章里说他的计划可以节省很多钱,甚至能达到数万亿美元。

但是周一,白宫没有说政府认为可以省下多少钱。

Oz周一说,卫生部门的领导将在未来一个月内和药厂的领导见面,根据其他国家买药的价格来决定新的药价。

健康法律专家认为,因为这项规定,美国人可能不会很快看到药价上涨的问题有所好转。

萨克斯说:“这个计划好像是让药厂自己把药价降到政府希望的水平,但具体是多少我们不知道。如果他们没有降到这个水平,卫生部就会慢慢地用其他办法,有些办法可能要好几年才能让药价降下来。”

卫生部门可以改变Medicare和Medicaid的药品价格,但实际做起来不容易。2022年,美国国会通过了一项新法律,允许Medicare从2026年开始和药厂谈一些药的价格。在这项法律之前,Medicare直接支付药厂定的价格。药厂曾为此打官司,但没有赢。

对于有私人保险的数百万美国人来说,政府机构很难控制他们支付的药品价格。

美国在药品上的花费通常比其他富裕国家多。这个问题让美国的主要政党很不高兴,但是国会还没有找到一个长期的解决办法。

特朗普总统在他刚开始当总统的时候,批评制药公司。他说这些公司“做得太过分了”。他还说,其他国家自己决定药的价格,是在利用美国人。

在宣布前,特朗普又在社交媒体上批评制药公司,说他们多年来一直说研发成本很高,而美国人独自承担了这些费用。

他说,药品公司花钱游说和捐款“很有用,但对我以及共和党没有影响。”

他写道:“我们将采取正确的行动。”

星期一早上,几家医药公司的股票价格都上涨了。
