THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Panelists will be speaking on the record.

While pharmaceutical innovation has resulted in treatments–and in some cases, cures–for debilitating diseases, high prescription drug prices have precluded access for many people in the U.S. This fall, Congress and the administration are poised to consider many policies to reform the prescription drug market and reduce prices paid by consumers as well as public and private payers. During this briefing, panelists will discuss components of policy proposals under consideration and explore evidence about their implications for the health care system.
