ICYMI: ICER-AHIP deal to expand influence of faulty, outdated CEA math on plan coverage (e.g. denial) & copay decisions is bad for patients.

For insurance to really be insurance, it should fully cover the drugs your doctor prescribes when you’re sick—without high out-of-pocket costs. After all, what are premiums for? https://t.co/QAmA6trmIf

Orphan disease exemptions under the #IRA apply to drugs with one indication, whereas small company exemptions only apply for two years—incentivizing better marketing, not increased spending on innovation. Learn more: https://t.co/ENArnPGoZE
