Unpacking Uncertainty: Trump’s Health Policies & Future of FDA | Press Pass with Nyah Phengsitthy
In this special Press Pass episode of the Making Medicine Podcast, John Stanford welcomes Nyah Phengsitthy of Bloomberg Law to break down the latest shifts in drug pricing, FDA policy, and the unpredictable pace of the Trump administration. They explore the Medicare drug price negotiation program, new FDA leadership under Dr. Makary, and the industry’s reaction to rapidly changing executive orders. Nyah also shares her approach to filtering meaningful policy changes from political noise. Plus, they dive into how upcoming guidance may reshape the role of physicians in Part B drug distribution and what that means for innovation in medicine. How should industry leaders respond to policy announced via social media posts? Will the new FDA leadership redefine efficiency and access in drug approval? What worries you most (or excites you) about the future of drug pricing policy?
