Health Affairs' Jeff Byers welcomes Senior Editor Ellen Bayer to the program to discuss the ongoing progress of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, how it's being implemented, and how we can best evaluate the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program.

Health Affairs will be hosting a virtual Journal Club event on Tuesday, August 27, entitled "Coverage of Anti-Obesity Medicines Could Increase Medicare Spending By Billions" featuring author Benedic Ippolito discussing his recent paper on the topic.

This event is exclusive to our Health Affairs Insiders.
