Uncertainty Over Cost and Access to Future COVID-19 Exposes Flaws in US Drug System (0:30) Guest: Robin Feldman, Arthur J. Goldberg Distinguished Professor of Law, Director of the Center for Innovation at University of California Hastings, Author of "Drugs, Money, & Secret Handshakes: The Unstoppable Growth of Prescription Drug Prices" A vaccine for COVID-19 is currently being tested on humans in Seattle, but it’ll be at least a year before it’s available publicly. Even then, it’s unclear who will be able to afford it. That all depends on how much the drug company that develops the vaccine decides to charge for it and how much of that cost health insurers will cover. You would think that a vaccine like this would be somehow made available to everyone regardless of cost – but that’s not how our system works, says Robin Feldman.
