GameChangers: Drug Price Negotiation by the Inflation Reduction Act

The cost of medications is often attributed to a burden on healthcare – despite hospitalizations costing four times as much. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he discusses the new Inflation Reduction Act which allows the government to negotiate medication prices.

THE GAMECHANGER: The US Federal Government can now negotiate with drug companies for the cost of medications. Similar to other countries, this bulk buying power can help lower medication prices for patients.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. List the 10 medications first targeted by the new legislation for negotiation
2. Describe the common arguments against this provision of the Inflation Reduction Act
