Page 268 of the PDF of the panel discussion includes the statements copied below from the Brian Toohey, the representative of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturing association of America.

He is saying that what the US pharmaceutical industry wants is for full access to US drugs and for the UK Health Service to pay more for them as they are depressing prices through their purchasing power and aren't paying a premium for "innovation" which they should be for a US UK trade agreement.

I can hardly wait.

"...First, negotiations should build on common ground to ensure transparency and due process for approving, pricing, and reimbursing pharmaceuticals. In the U.K., the government is a primary payer for medicines and, in effect, dictates prices. This dominant position often results in the U.K. failing to appropriately recognize the value of innovation in its pricing reimbursement systems, and, instead, engage in actions that distort markets and artificially depress prices. With these concerns in mind, PhRMA welcomes the administration's continued focus on the problem of advanced economies undervaluing innovative medicines. These provide an important opportunity, consistent with TPA, to ensure government regulatory reimbursement regimes are transparent, non discriminatory, and provide procedural fairness and full market access for U.S. products, which includes the setting of reimbursement amount on competitive market-derived pricing, or an equivalent process, such as one that appropriately recognized the value of an innovative product...."

Really? But everything was in black and white. Got a link?

So why arnt the left out protesting now.

And you sir, are too thick to understand the following:

Parliament will not sanction a no deal exit on their own
No one wants another extension, not least the EU

Therefore there is only one way out of this, another vote. If you really want to crash out of the EU overnight, it would have to be voted on because parliament are not going to do that.

We are being backed into a corner. We will be desperate for markets post Brexit. My old employer very clearly intended and intends to subsume the most lucrative elements of the NHS.

In addition there is no doubt we will be forced to accept US meat. A race to the bottom. Americans always believe the American way is best and the sooner we simply accept that and become one of its States the better. Ot maybe four of its States.
