This week on the FLATLINING Podcast, Matthew and Ron talk about Senator Amy Klobuchar’s (D-MN) SMART Prices Act which would speed up the drug price “negotiations” in the Inflation Reduction Act. They also talk about an idea that would eliminate the difference in costs between seeing a doctor at a hospital versus and office.
