So often on the Patients Rising Podcast, we discuss the affordability of healthcare. This week, guest Peter Kolchinsky outlines how thinking of paying for medicines like paying for a house mortgage leads to lower costs for patients, and encourages investment in the cures of tomorrow.
Plus, Terry and Bob look at the latest healthcare headlines, including a promising framework for a PBM bill to address interactions between PBMs and federal health programs.
