Last week, the White House announced it has plans to use the government’s “March-in” rights on drugs developed with public funding.
This week, we’re joined by our very own Executive Director here at Patients Rising, MacKay Jimeson. He explains why he and other experts believe this will not lower what patients pay at the counter for prescriptions, and actually could do much more damage by discouraging new treatment development, particularly for the rare disease patient community.
We also talk about the FDA approval of a powerful new tool that will treat sickle cell disease.
