    The promise is to spend 25% more, not pay 25% for the same amount.

      Why would the guardian - the Bastian of journalistic credibility - print such a misleading headline? 🤔😂

        Lol, they’ve also changed the article, I copy pasted that earlier.

    The main thing I got from that is drug pricing is complicated. At least the extra expenditure comes from widening the pool of available drugs rather than just the prices of existing treatments being put up.
