PROGRAM # 9473 11:00 AM PDT
Extra Edition: Prescription Drug Prices, Diabetes.
US consumers pay the highest prices in the world for the drugs they need. In response, the House of Representatives recently included in the Build Back Better Bill a provision that would allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices and place a cap on out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Part D. On a related topic, diabetes poses a big risk of complications or death for those who contract COVID-19. Advocates promote the importance of an early diagnosis of prediabetes. At this stage, it can be reverted. These and other topics are discussed in this edition.
Guests: Maggie Castro, Spokesperson, American Association for Retired Persons – AARP, New York, NY; Dr. Madelyn Butler, Spokesperson, American Medical Association, Tampa, FL.
