Prescription costs are broken — and patients are the ones paying the price.

In this episode of Boombostic Health, host Bradley Bostic sits down with Lathe Bigler of First Data Bank to unpack why e-prescribing hasn't evolved in decades, how opaque pricing keeps patients in the dark, and why the next wave of pharmacy network innovation could flip the power dynamic back to patients.
