Oddly enough this idea has been floating around a while. Which is to use the British taxpayers to recapitalize insurance companies that have been struggling since Obamacare.

The insurance companies (like Aetna) have seen massive losses so the drugs made by drug companies (like Pfeizer) are more and more expensive for US companies to buy for patients. Reimbursement rates / especially on Medicaid are under dispute so US drug companies could do with market capitalization - at the expense of the UK taxpayer.

So, for example, the cost of a drug for Cystic Fibrosis treatment (Ivacaftor combined with lumacaftor) is somewhere in the region of 100K per year and the NHS refuses to pay for it:

Trump will want the NHS to pay for it and undo some of the damage that Obamacare caused the drug and insurance companies.

So in essence, the British taxpayer could re-capitalize the likes of Vertex pharma. The drug is also already unavailable through private insurance in Holland but he will not pressure the Dutch into renegotiating a FTA agreement (EU wide) but he can put pressure on the Brits as we are in the position of weakness / the ones begging here.

I have long long said that as a belief (core) of nationalized socialism Trump would invariably move towards Nazism / UHC / hatred of Israel etc etc. When the failure to repeal Obamacare came about it was no great surprise to me but credit to him, he repealed the individual mandate and his support for Israel has been astonishingly good. (Recognition of Jerusalem as capital etc).

He can take a more traditionally strong nationalistic approach because he found his stooge in May and he is going to take her for all it is worth and the British taxpayer will be on the hook.
