Big difference between drugs and addiction ctrs under Trump
Big difference between drugs and addiction ctrs under TrumpThere is a bipartisan consenses to increase patient access to treatment.
there is a big difference between how Congress will treat DRUGS and ADDICTION centers
Whereas it seem part of the solution for drugs could be increased competition (in part by allowing imports, and by increasing accessibility to generics) therefore reducing drug price, the OPPOSITE approach seems to be the one chosen for addiction centers
New regulation will focus on INCREASED coverage of addiction treatment by insurers through a strenghtening of Mental Parity act. That means unlike drugs where pressure is on the producer, for mental health pressure is put on insurers
Do you see where I am going with this? Where do you think money will flow if the market realise there is only ONE Healthcare sectors that is a winner under new regulation (mental health and addiction treatment)?
