Hello, Editor Donna is back, trying to catch up after a long and unanticipated leave that is not quite finished. We look at the effects of the US government ‘shutdown’ (not much except in telehealth), Pfizer’s ‘favored nations’ deal on drug prices (moving power away from the PBMs) and multiple big deals. We’re also gobsmacked that Veradigm still can’t get its reports together and Wojcicki bought back 23andMe. Sadly, one of our telehealth pioneers, John Boden, has also passed. More next week.
Editor Donna is back. Here’s the catchup.
From our last Alert:
No, this shouldn’t happen to you–an unwanted hiatus for Editor Donna (an oops and a break that could have been worse)
Congratulations to James Batchelor MBE (Well Deserved!)
And a read with even more relevance now: Should free-falling UnitedHealth Group be broken up? Or break itself up to survive, before it becomes another GE? (updated) (Not a rant, more a ‘get going’ to avoid disaster!)
