Germany has the highest prices and most availability of innovative drugs, while France has the lowest prices and fewer drugs available. The study analyzed availability and prices of 125 drugs in top European markets between 2009-2012. Prices were usually highest in Germany and lowest in France, where a stricter assessment process limits which new drugs get premium prices. Availability and prices varied between other markets like Italy, Spain, and the UK based on each country's policies and processes.
