Former FDA Chief Scott Gottlieb talks drug pricing, access and innovation (Sponsored)

In the latest episode of the Health Matters podcast, former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb joins WPP’s Wendy Lund, GCI Health’s Ryan Kuresman and Burson’s Judy Stecker to discuss the forces reshaping U.S. health policy. Gottlieb warns that while new laws such as the Inflation Reduction Act may lower government spending on drugs, consumers are unlikely to see significant relief at the pharmacy counter. Insurers’ tighter formularies and higher cost-sharing requirements, he said, could continue to drive affordability challenges for patients.

The discussion also covers the future of direct-to-consumer advertising, FDA’s role in combating health misinformation and the promise of cell and gene therapies. Gottlieb shares both caution and optimism — noting the risk of consumer frustration if policy changes fail to deliver savings, while pointing to breakthroughs that are transforming treatment and outcomes. To hear his full take on the challenges and opportunities facing health care leaders, listen to the full Health Matters episode.
