“Over 15 million people in the United States suffer from COPD. Our special report focuses on the medical evidence and value of these two inhalers, specifically for COPD. We recognize that our report will be one of many inputs CMS may consider, and we hope that it will help them as they continue to build a reliable, value-based, transparent drug price negotiation process on behalf of the American people.”
