I've got to imagine at 15% of GDP, this is a giant ship you're trying to reset and redirect.
Can you get this done in this administration?
Can you make the changes of moving many of these medications over the counter and get them to fit under insurance reimbursement plans?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, look, if you guys get it done, I think it'll be a profound change for America for the price of health care, which I think is really challenging a lot of people day to day.
One of the other things that's been a little bit of a hot button is pharmaceutical advertising on TV.
Some people have claimed that the pharmaceutical companies have significant influence over media because of the money they spend.
They're one of the biggest spenders.
I spoke to a pharmaceutical CEO about advertising.
He said the ROI is incredible.
We've never been able to influence media, so it doesn't make a difference to us in that sense.
But fundamentally, the reason we do it is because it gets awareness out there for therapies that patients might not know are available to them.
And he said this interesting statistic to me, which is that half of US physicians never see a representative to learn about new drugs that are coming to market.
And two thirds of physicians report never reading a journal article or going to a conference in the past year.
So they're not aware of some of the new medicines that have come to market or coming to market.
You've been a physician, you are a physician, you understand how this might go.
You're busy, you're treating patients, you have a lot going on.
Maybe you're not up to speed on the newest medicines coming to market.
What's the administration, what's your view on advertising, pharmaceutical advertising on TV?
Where are things headed?
