Join us in this breakout 360it from Episode 88 Biosimilars : Interchangeability & Switching 2023 as we dissect the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its potential fallout on patient access to diverse treatment plans. Tracing the historical trajectory of the IRA, we uncover its role in price negotiations and the concerning shift in investments away from critical drugs tailored for specific diseases. This reallocation poses a tangible threat to the availability and diversity of treatments, including for those living with AiArthritis diseases. As we dive into the landscape of healthcare policy, the discussion emphasizes the pressing need for IRA improvements to consider the long term well-being of patients. Without these crucial enhancements, we will have a future with not only fewer innovative treatments but potentially less treatment options available.
