A new wave of middlemen offers 'alternative funding' for specialty drugs.

The most complicated story I've ever worked on has dropped.

It's long and worth the read.

I go deep into the world of alternative funding programs & how they're harming patient access to timely prescriptions:

Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination
Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. β€œwould put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

Nobel Laureates Urge Senate to Turn Down Kennedy’s Nomination Elevating Mr. Kennedy to secretary of H.H.S. β€œwould put the public’s health in jeopardy,” more than 75 laureates wrote.

We, the undersigned Nobel Laureates, are writing to ask you to
oppose the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

The proposal to place Mr. Kennedy in charge of the federal agencies
responsible for protecting the health ofAmerican citizens and for
conducting the medical research that benefits our country and the
rest of humanity has been widely criticized on multiple grounds. In
addition to his lack of credentials or relevant experience in
medicine, science, public health, or administration, Mr. Kennedy has
been an opponent of many health - protecting and life-saving
vaccines, such as those that prevent measles and polio; a critic of
the well-established positive effects of fluoridation of drinking
water; a promoter of conspiracy theories about remarkably
successful treatments for AIDS and other diseases; and a belligerent
critic of respected agencies.

75+ Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice.
