Very proud of Stephen Mein on being awarded an NHLBI K23 grant
Inhalers are a case study in how US drug pricing and coverage fail patients with chronic disease — and he's building the evidence on what actually fixes it
Watch out for his work! @SmithBIDMC @PCCSM_BIDMC

Manufacturer inhaler price caps offered hope of improved inhaler affordability in the US, but several loopholes mean costs will not change for many patients. @rkwadhera & I discuss these limitations and next steps to address high inhaler costs. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Manufacturers rolled out price caps on inhalers this past year but loopholes & barriers to access the low prices mean many still pay high costs
@StephenMein & @RKWadhera argue legislation is needed to improve inhaler affordability

The high cost of inhalers has drawn scrutiny from patients & policymakers
Our new @JAMAInternalMed study evaluates the implications of 3 of the largest manufacturers recently capping out-of-pocket costs for many brand-name inhalers at $35/month. bit.ly/4iXwtUl
