Douglas Holtz-Eakin, “Indications are going to be deeply affected by the IRA”

Douglas Holtz-Eakin was formerly a professor of economics at Syracuse University and served as the director of the Congressional Budget Office from 2003 – 2005. He was the chief economic policy adviser to Senator John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and is currently president of the American Action Forum, a highly respected think tank in Washington, DC.

While heading the CBO, Douglas played a pivotal role in designing and implementing the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, aka the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit. Given his experience, in this podcast, we reflect upon how that legislation led to the rapid expansion of the U.S. innovative biopharma sector and the material risks posed by the Inflation Reduction Act.
