Why Does The Cost Of Meds Keep Going Up? Is The System Rigged?

Dr. Marion Mass, co-founder of Practicing Physicians of America and a fellow at the Independent Women's Forum, critiques the typical system used to deliver prescription drugs to consumers in the US. She focuses on prescription benefit managers (PBMs) and their relationships with other parts of the system. Mass explains why she believes the system incentivizes kickbacks drives up costs, and doesn't allow market pressures to hold prices down.
