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.
