DC MDs Dean and Frist talk healthcare reform and biopharma
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, they agreed.
