With 52.7% of #MedicareAdvantage beneficiaries living below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level, policy solutions to address social determinants of health are more important than ever. A new report from @BMAlliance Offers a way forward. https://t.co/2rBwIvoz6E

Thanks for the quote @BLaw from our @WestHealth @NC_HC event last week on #Drug Pricing Reform: The Costs of Inaction. "We want to make sure that any changes that happen will affect people in the commercial market as well as people in the Medicare program" https://t.co/Q28ZDPgpto

[Center for Integration of Science and Industry @SciIndustry]

Honored to join @NC_HC & @WestHealth for Congressional Briefing to discuss evidence that reducing drug prices could inhibit @innovation and new research from @SciIndustry @BentleyU that this may be mitigated by #agile management. Recording now available: https://t.co/TlUrvT6ZC8

THREAD: Policy does not need to make a false choice between reducing drug prices to ensure #affordability and the #innovation required to develop new cures.
[@SciIndustry, @bentleyu, @WestHealth, @iamamyherr]

[National Coalition on Health Care @NC_HC]

@SciIndustry @bentleyu @WestHealth @iamamyherr Dr. Ledley concludes that strategic allocation of cost reductions by large pharmaceutical companies can mitigate negative impact of revenue reductions from #HR3 on #innovation.

[@scilndustry, @bentleyu, @WestHealth, @iamamyherr]

[National Coalition on Health Care @NC_HC]

Research from @SciIndustry, @bentleyu finds that small companies have an important role in new #drugdevelopment; data shows small companies conduct about 60% of all clinical trials.

[National Coalition on Health Care @NC_HC]

It's not just bipartisan, it's beneficial for all of us," Congressman @PeterWelch emphasized regarding lowering the cost of healthcare and the biggest driver, the escalation of #prescriptiondrug prices.

[@WestHealth, @iamamyherr]

[National Coalition on Health Care @NC_HC]

We are grateful to hear remarks from Congressman @PeterWelch during today's briefing.

He spoke to the role of pharmaceutical companies in accessing prescription drugs, the recent #alzheimersdrug, and healthcare affordability at large.

[National Coalition on Health Care @NC_HC]

Did you know that 34 million people know someone who has died due to not being able to afford their care?
