This week we talk about a major victory for patients regarding Copay Assistance Programs. We’re joined by one of the major players in the lawsuit that made it happen, George Huntley, the CEO of the Diabetes Leadership Council and the Diabetes Patient Advocacy Coalition. He helps us break down why this was such a significant win for patients. 

We also discuss the new Patients Rising working paper all about current formulary practices and how they’re hurting patients..
