Why do Americans pay more for the same medicines?
Episode 240
Published 2 years, 11 months ago
Description
Studies show that 1 in 5 elderly Americans are going without their proper medication due to costs. While some use the wrong medicine or simply go without, others are leaving America to buy more affordable drugs elsewhere. New legislation allows Medicare to negotiate the price of selected drugs with drug companies, starting in 2026. Will this be a game changer and improve access to lifesaving medicine?
