Can US GLOBE and GUARD Models Really Lower Drug Prices, Brittany La Couture?

When the US benchmarks drug prices against other countries, the whole world feels it. In this episode of MAP – the Market Access Podcast, Dr. Stefan Walzer sits down with Brittany La Couture of Applied Policy, a health policy attorney with eight years at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, to unpack the US “most favored nation” approach to drug pricing and the three CMMI models behind it: GENEROUS, GLOBE and GUARD.

They discuss why providers and patients may carry the cost, why Brittany sees the models as a tax on manufacturers rather than a price cut, and whether launch delays in Europe point to a more fragmented global market.
