Posted on by PRN | Leave a comment

An article from this week in Medical Marketing and Media written by Matthew Arnold features former clinicians and now political voices Dean and Frist talking healthcare reform and biopharma.

Here is a brief exerpt: “There isn’t much in the Affordable Care Act to cut healthcare costs, agreed former senator Bill Frist (R-TN) and ex-governor Howard Dean (D-VT), both of whom came to politics with MDs instead of JDs. But the law has led to a serious national discussion on reducing expensive care and, combined with measures supporting the biopharma industry, could set the stage for reining in US healthcare spend, the odd couple said in Phoenix yesterday at the annual meeting of the Pharmaceutical Marketing Research Group (PMRG).”
