A conversation with Vinay Patel

There are too many barriers in the pursuit of health: financial, infrastructural, systematic… American healthcare is set up to fail the patients it needs to prioritize.

Welcome Vinay Patel, a forward thinking pharmacist and healthcare entrepreneur who founded MakoRx, a company focused on disrupting traditional drug pricing models and improving pharmacy access.

He saw a system that failed patients - charging exorbitant prices for cheaply-made drugs - until he decided to break with the status quo and set about creating a new model, rooted in transparency and focused on patient outcomes, not profit.

— —

We spoke about how drug pricing actually works, why costs vary so wildly, and what needs to happen to make healthcare more affordable and accessible - looking ahead to what the future of pharmacy might hold.
