We need the leadership of scientists, researchers, public health officials, and lawmakers to guide us through the COVID-19 global pandemic and discuss drug pricing in an open, honest, and transparent manner. The Price of Health reveals the story of how the pharmaceutical enterprise took shape and led to the present crisis, and how we can still right the ship even amidst the storm of a global pandemic.

The pharmaceutical industry has betrayed its own history, leading to one in five Americans skipping vital prescriptions due to the cost. Despite advancements in medical options, such as cures for cancers and sight restoration for genetic disorders, people cannot afford the necessary treatments. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for leadership from scientists, researchers, public health officials, and lawmakers to guide us through global health crises and mundane times. Drug pricing is a crucial issue that requires open, honest, and transparent discussion. The book "The Price of Health" explores how the pharmaceutical enterprise took shape, leading to the present crisis, and questions its continued viability. The industry's reputation is suffering from self-inflicted wounds, and its survival is increasingly questioned. However, the book suggests that the industry can return to its tradition of care by addressing the root causes of high drug prices and promoting patient access and affordability.
