      <subfield code="a">Extending life and improving quality of life for literally millions, drug treatments such as aspirin, penicillin, insulin, AZT, cancer drug Herceptin, Harvoni, and Lipitor are nothing short of miracle drugs. Recently developed therapies are also impressive, such as single-dose Kymriah, which has an unprecedented 83 percent remission rate for children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.[1] Another example is the newly available gene therapy Luxturna, which can cure blindness in carefully selected patients. Such therapies can achieve outcomes that are truly miraculous for those cured patients; they can also be staggeringly expensive. While anyone with a heart would agree that these miracle drug benefits are wonderful for patients, we need to find ways to harness these invaluable benefits while also finding ways to curb the growth in drug costs in the U.S. for all partiesconsumers, payers, and manufacturers alike. </subfield>
