Innovative Efforts toward Affordable Medications

Jon-Michael Rosmann of the Iowa Prescription Drug Corporation joins Joyce to talk about their efforts to provide affortable prescription drugs to the people of Iowa.

The Iowa Prescription Drug Corporation is a non-profit organization established in 2001 to provide affordable medication access to Iowans in need of assistance. Its initial programs focused on providing affordable medications to Medicare eligible Iowans. Since then their mission has expanded to include their state's safety-net patients. Today they focus on creating innovative solutions that provide low-cost pharmaceutical access to the most vulnerable populations while generating significant cost savings across health systems.

We will talk about some of these programs, and how they might be extended to people in other states.
