Geldregen mit Trumps Segen Warum ein US-Konzern in der Schweiz mehr Steuern bezahlt als Nestlé und Novartis.

Wer zahlt am meisten Steuern in der Schweiz? Normalerweise: Roche, Novartis oder Nestlé. Neu zahlt ein US-Pharmakonzern mehr als alle anderen. Deutlich mehr. Die Recherche von @tikollbrunner.bsky.social und mir mit Unterstützung des @icij.org heute auf @republik.ch www.republik.ch/2026/04/17/g...

Public Citizen’s Peter Maybarduk told ICIJ that pharma created a system of rules to protect drugmakers and ensure wealthy governments protect them “There is a whole architecture underpinning Keytruda and every patented drug where the US government and Europe go to bat for the industry and its rules”

Keytruda R&D costs Keytruda, manufactured by the US pharmaceutical giant Merck Sharp & Dohme (MSD), offers genuine hope for cancer patients and oncologists alike. However, it’s also a nightmare for insurers and public h...

In this context @publiceye.ch also shared with @icij.org an exclusive estimate of MSD's R&D costs for #pembrolizumab, based on independent verifiable data. This represents just a tiny fraction of what MSD pretends having invested - $1.9bn vs >$30bn. Check it out here www.publiceye.ch/en/topics/ph...

Das Medikament, das alles sprengt Kein Arzneimittel kostet die Welt so viel wie die Krebs­therapie Keytruda. Wer profitiert?

Zusammen mit @icij.org haben @phalbrecht.bsky.social und ich für die @republik.ch recherchiert, warum die Krebstherapie Keytruda die Welt – und die Schweiz – so viel kostet wie kein anderes Medikament. Und wieso sich daran nichts ändert. #CancerCalculus

Both #Roche and #Novartis reported a net income of around US$ 14 billion in 2025 - so absolutely no need to cry wolf and threaten access to new drugs in 🇪🇺 🇨🇭.

Trump’s Attempt to Make Drugs Cheaper Is Pushing Up Prices in Other Countries The president’s order is upending health care in Switzerland.

"Pharmaceutical companies are raising prices elsewhere instead of bringing them down in the US, due to rules introduced by President Donald Trump that force drugmakers to reduce their prices in the US to the lowest level paid in other developed countries." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Wegen Trump: Neues Brustkrebsmedikament könnte Schweizer Kassen sprengen Giredestrant soll zum neuen Standard bei Brustkrebs werden. Wegen des US-Deals muss Roche den Preis der Therapie vielleicht anheben. Und zwar so stark, dass ihn Krankenkassen nicht mehr erstatten könnten.

"Die Basler drohen der 🇨🇭 mit Jobabbau und dem Zurückhalten ihres neuen «revolutionären» Brustkrebsmedikaments." Eine Frechheit von #Roche als sie fast 14 Milliarden Franken Reingewinn im 2025 machten.

The food firm was accused of “double standards” over the researchers’ findings, which come at a time when rates of childhood obesity are rising on the continent, prompting calls for Nestlé to remove all added sugar from baby-food products.
