GUEST COLUMN: New Drug Pricing Policy Could Raise Cost for Millions

By Ken Thorpe Healthcare costs are one of Americans' top concerns as we head into election season. The IRA directs Medicare to negotiate the price of certain medicines for the first time ever.

It's troubling that among Americans over 64, a full 25% struggle to afford their... Read more →

Letter to the Editor: OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE OR SOME PEOPLE LOVE MY ART WORK
