Former FDA Commissioner and board member at Pfizer and Illumina Dr. Scott Gottlieb discusses the pressures and mandatory discounts that factor into drug pricing. Plus, Elon Musk’s Neuralink has enabled a person with paralysis to play chess online, but one lawmaker is raising concerns about whether the brain implant should have been approved for human testing so quickly.
