Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Generic drugs were introduced decades ago as a free-market alternative to expensive name brands, in contrast to Europe’s government-negotiated system. But although we assume generic versions are identical to their name-brand counterparts, they can differ in important ways. And as the price of generics has spiked, legislators and others are questioning the role of this multibillion-dollar industry in our health care system.
Guests
- Jeremy Greene MD; Professor of Medicine and the History of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; Author, “Generic: The Unbranding of Modern Medicine.”
