Podcast: ‘What The Health?’ Why Is It So Difficult To Control Drug Prices?

Mary Agnes Carey of Kaiser Health News, Sarah Karlin-Smith of Politico, Margot Sanger-Katz of The New York Times and Julie Appleby of Kaiser Health News discuss the recent extension of cost-sharing subsidies for millions of low-income beneficiaries on the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces — as well as the state of play on Capitol Hill and in the states concerning efforts to lower prescription drug costs.

Plus, for “extra credit,” the panelists recommend their favorite health stories of the week they think you should read, too.
