The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)’s new approach to prescription drug pricing marks a significant shift in how Medicare pays for medications, with potential consequences for patient access nationwide. To explore these implications, the Institute is pleased to welcome 
Dr. Tomas J. Philipson
, former Acting Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and University of Chicago professor, as our 2025 Hewitt Healthcare Lecturer.
In his lecture, Dr. Philipson will analyze how insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers are responding to these pricing reforms, and what their decisions could mean for both current medication access and future drug innovation.
Attendees will also receive an exclusive demonstration of Pioneer’s innovative new webtool that tracks the implementation and effects of the IRA on Medicare Part D coverage.
Named for Pioneer’s former Chairman, Charles “Colby” Hewitt, Jr., the annual Hewitt Healthcare Lecture brings together the nation’s top healthcare and life sciences experts to discuss the most pressing issues facing our country’s health sector.

Freedom Trail

西行阿里

The terminal of the Freedom Trail
This granite monument in Charlestown, Boston, is said to be one of the earliest monuments in the United States, used to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill between the British Army and the North American Colonial Militia (OK, I admit that I checked it recently
)
Now this is the terminal of Boston&#39;s Freedom Trail. If the weather is good, you can walk all the way from Boston Park~
The only way to get to the top of the monument is to climb the stairs
There are a total of 294 steps, and numbers are marked every few steps, so that people who are panting and climbing the stairs can have a number in mind

There is actually only a small space on the top of the monument, but looking out through the small windows on all four sides, I immediately feel that climbing the stairs is worth it~
