Episode Details

Steve is joined by former Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ), a former member of the House Ways and Means Committee and spokesperson for the Pharmaceutical Reform Alliance, to spotlight the real cost of prescription drugs in America. He talks about PRA’s interactive installation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where Americans are seeing firsthand how U.S. patients often pay more than three times as much for the same medications compared to other wealthy countries. Hayworth explains why transparency, competition, and common-sense reform matter, and how PRA is collecting personal stories from everyday Americans impacted by skyrocketing drug prices, putting pressure on a system that’s clearly not working for patients.
