Synopsis

<div>New medicines in the pipeline&#160;can&#160;extend lives, save money, and&#160;even help prevent&#160;disease before symptoms appear &#150; if we don&#8217;t discourage their innovators and investors by trying to lower drug prices artificially. <i>Unlocking Precision Medicine</i>&#160;explores&#160;the environment necessary for creation of these health care game-changers, and&#160;explains&#160;how the marketplace can effectively make them more affordable to all without killing the golden goose. &#160;<br></div>
