Making Medicine

John was at the JP Morgan conference and is here to discuss the key takeaways of the Inflation Reduction Act: the small-molecule penalty, the value of small-molecule drugs, the importance of incentivizing post-approval research, intellectual property, and non-coverage decisions at CMS. You’ll also hear John’s take on the demand for a more pro-patient agenda. There was a lot of focus on the role of policy and government, specifically in relation to the inflation reduction act and its impact on the life science and venture capital industries.
