For the first time, the US government has negotiated down drug prices for ten of Medicare’s most expensive prescriptions. CNBC’s Bertha Coombs reports on the health care shift, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure explains the implications for drugmakers and patients. After the White House held its first “influencer summit,” social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk (known by his millions of followers as Gary Vee) explains the untapped value of content creators for brands and for politicians. Plus, months after protests at Columbia University captured national headlines, Columbia’s president has resigned.
