Though biosimilars are highly valued for their effectiveness as treatments, the costs-per-patient of many biologics are often significant and sometimes can be prohibitive. As all countries tussle with the issues of access to biologics and other medicines while confronting increasingly limited health care resources; achievement of the full potential of biosimilars is becoming increasingly challenging. My colleagues and I recently authored, What we believe to be, one of the most in-depth reports on the Biosimilars industry in India.

"All of us—informed citizens as well as elected officials—need to be reminded that the creative economy is one of the U.S.’s most important economic resources, and the creative economy creates not just jobs but high-paying jobs. The creative economy is one of the few areas where the U.S. runs an enormous trade surplus with the rest of the world, and any thought of economic recovery and continued U.S. economic expansion must factor in continued U.S. global dominance in the creative economy. "

It is imperative to also make cost of goods competitive during the production cycle so that those high paying jobs don't go elsewhere--like Canada--using the film industry as one example. Having worked with IATSE for many years there is always an on-going battle in terms of union vs. non-union wages and labor.

An intelligent question might be how do we maintain and expand a creative trade surplus as we address peripheral issues that contribute to the outsourcing of the labor & locales to countries that maintain lower costs of doing business while offering better tax incentives? It's not always just about the "higher paying" jobs.
