Novartis Pledges $23 Billion US Investment as Tariffs Loom
Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis AG said it would invest $23 billion in the US over the next five years to ensure all its key drugs for Americans are made in the country, news that comes as President Donald Trump has promised to impose tariffs on global drugmakers.
New research from Lumicera Health Services, the specialty pharmacy subsidiary of Navitus Health Solutions, reveals a dual challenge in healthcare today: many Americans are feeling the strain of prescription costs, yet most aren't taking full advantage of the pharmacists they trust. A survey of 2,000 Americans aged 18+ found that 75% have been surprised by the cost of a medication – but few are initiating conversations that could lead to solutions. 74% of respondents have never discussed financial challenges with their doctor or pharmacist.
