How do drug prices work?

The price of new drugs like Foundayo is set by the manufacturer, Eli Lilly, but is often negotiated with national health systems, such as the NHS in the UK. These negotiations consider the drug's effectiveness, its impact on patient health, and the overall cost-effectiveness for the healthcare system.
