The group highlights drug pricing and regulations, the public charge rule, and the increase in health literacy due to the pandemic.

A CLOSER LOOK—Learning From Past Pandemics
“If history has taught us anything, it is that the new administration is likely to experience at least one infectious disease crisis of significance.” This is what Anthony Fauci wrote in a Health Affairs Blog post in February 2017, one month after the Trump administration took office.

On the last day of 2020, a year that has been marked by COVID-19 in every way, from devastating loss to triumphant scientific breakthroughs,
revisit what Fauci hoped we would learn when faced with this pandemic and ponder what new lessons we will carry forward into future health crises.
