How States Struggle to Make Prescriptions Affordable

from Middle of It · host Middle of It

In this episode, we examine the proposed Illinois Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) and how it fits into the national landscape of drug pricing and competing stakeholder interests clashing over the policy. Tune in to understand how the legislation evolved from a broad initial proposal into a heavily amended, five-year pilot program designed to address supply chain vulnerabilities while still accomplishing its fundamental goal of prescription affordability.
