Amitabh Chandra is the director of health policy research at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and a professor of business administration at Harvard Business School. Dr Chandra is a rare voice sounding an alarm about the unintended consequences of the drug pricing provisions of the inflation reduction act.  

In this Vital Health Podcast, Amitabh highlights the enormous disincentives for small molecules created by the IRA, as companies will receive four fewer years of revenue when compared to large molecules. As well, we touch on the challenges of PBM rebates due to their lack of transparency, and how this is creating political issues for the biopharma sector.
