Souffrez-vous de diab\u00e8te, d\u2019arthrose, d\u2019hypertension ou d\u2019une autre affection chronique largement r\u00e9pandue ? Alors vous allez faire face \u00e0 des moments difficiles ! Car nos assureurs maladie n\u2019auront bient\u00f4t plus d\u2019argent pour de telles pathologies lambda. Trop banales ! Ce budget sera bient\u00f4t n\u00e9cessaire pour financer des m\u00e9dicaments co\u00fbtant des millions, destin\u00e9s \u00e0 traiter des maladies rares. Pour l\u2019industrie pharma, cela s\u2019av\u00e8re plus lucratif et surtout, dans ce domaine, pratiquement personne n\u2019ose s\u2019exprimer de mani\u00e8re critique. C\u2019est pourquoi les multinationales de la pharma se concentrent de plus en plus sur ce secteur. Et laissent qui le veut bien fabriquer les m\u00e9dicaments destin\u00e9s au consommateur lambda, vendus \u00e0 un prix compress\u00e9, fix\u00e9 par l\u2019\u00e9tat.<\/p>\n
Exemple le plus r\u00e9cent : Novartis a achet\u00e9 pour 8,7 milliards de dollars US la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 AveXis. Novartis devient ainsi notamment propri\u00e9taire d\u2019un m\u00e9dicament pour le traitement l\u2019amyotrophie spinale (SMA), une maladie g\u00e9n\u00e9tique. Le co\u00fbt d\u2019un traitement est de l\u2019ordre de 800\u2018000 dollars US. Calculons la facture de ce business qui p\u00e8se des milliards :<\/p>\n
Selon les estimations, 375’000 patients souffrent actuellement de SMA dans le monde. Chaque ann\u00e9e, environ 23’500 nouveau-n\u00e9s naissent avec ce d\u00e9faut g\u00e9n\u00e9tique. Et ce nombre va se maintenir car les porteurs du g\u00e8ne sont \u00e9valu\u00e9s \u00e0 environ 150 millions de personnes. En ne traitant que les nouveau-n\u00e9s, le chiffre d\u2019affaires se monte \u00e0 18,8 milliards de dollars. Il atteint 300 milliards de dollars si l\u2019on tient compte du potentiel global de patients.<\/p>\n
En Suisse, 500 patients environ sont touch\u00e9s par la SMA. Le potentiel pour Novartis de ce seul produit est donc de 400 millions de francs, \u00e0 charge de notre assurance maladie sociale. Et il ne s\u2019agit l\u00e0 que d\u2019un seul parmi de nombreux autres m\u00e9dicaments, tout aussi chers et destin\u00e9s \u00e0 des maladies rares. CAR-T, pour la th\u00e9rapie g\u00e9nique de la leuc\u00e9mie chez l\u2019enfant, co\u00fbte 475\u2018000 dollars par traitement, la th\u00e9rapie d\u2019une c\u00e9cit\u00e9 d\u2019origine g\u00e9n\u00e9tique co\u00fbte 850\u2018000 dollars, etc.<\/p>\n
La liste peut \u00eatre compl\u00e9t\u00e9e par d\u2019autres m\u00e9dicaments \u00e0 des prix exorbitants, et l\u2019industrie pharmaceutique mettra tout en \u0153uvre afin d\u2019allonger cette liste. Aujourd\u2019hui d\u00e9j\u00e0, 0,7% des emballages factur\u00e9s \u00e0 charge des assurances maladie g\u00e9n\u00e8rent 25% des co\u00fbts\u00a0! Et la tendance est \u00e0 une augmentation massive. Il n\u2019est pas n\u00e9cessaire d\u2019\u00eatre un g\u00e9nie du calcul pour voir que l\u2019industrie pharmaceutique va rapidement saper les fondements de nos assurances sociales.<\/p>\n
Et que font le Conseil f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, Sant\u00e9suisse, le Surveillant des prix et d\u2019autre soi-disant \u00abexperts\u00bb ? Ils cherchent le salut dans un remboursement fixe des g\u00e9n\u00e9riques ! En d\u00e9truisant par l\u00e0 m\u00eame la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 d\u2019approvisionnement de notre pays :<\/p>\n
Bien s\u00fbr, la vie des personne atteintes d\u2019une maladie rare n\u2019est souvent pas facile et il est louable que notre industrie pharmaceutique offre la possibilit\u00e9 de gu\u00e9rir de telles affections gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 de nouvelles th\u00e9rapies g\u00e9niques. Mais ce qui ne doit arriver, c\u2019est que l\u2019industrie pharma vide les caisses de nos assurances maladies sociales en raison des prix exorbitants de tels traitements sp\u00e9ciaux, de sorte que la majorit\u00e9 de la population ne puisse plus \u00eatre trait\u00e9e avec ses m\u00e9dicaments \u00e9prouv\u00e9s contre le diab\u00e8te, l\u2019hypertension, l\u2019arthrose et d\u2019autres affections largement r\u00e9pandues, simplement parce que le diktat exerc\u00e9 sur les prix s\u2019applique \u00e0 eux. Solidarit\u00e9 oui, mais il y a une limite \u00e0 la douleur.<\/p>\n
