Big Pharma. A miracle HIV prevention drug (and its price-tag). Blue States vs. RFK.

Big Pharma. A miracle HIV prevention drug (and its price-tag). Blue States vs. RFK.

Abdul and Katelyn talk about a promising bipartisan bill that could disrupt Pharmacy Benefit Managers, a miracle drug that prevents HIV--at a serious cost, and new data that show that US obesity rates may have fallen for the first time in more than a decade. Then they talk about RFK Jr’s chances of being confirmed to lead HHS after news broke last week that his attorney asked the FDA to repeal approval of the polio vaccine back in 2022. Then Abdul sits down with Dr. Umair Shah, Washington State’s Secretary of Health, about the role of state health departments over the next four years.

We will be back with more episodes in 2025. We wish you all a restful holiday season!
