School of Pharmacy professor Dr. Nicole Brandt will brief congress on protecting Medicare’s “protected classes” of drugs, and why changing the system could threaten millions of Americans living with HIV, epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, lupus, cancer and many other serious conditions.

Faced with thousands of angry comments opposing the move this spring, the agency that governs Medicare tabled the change… but now it’s coming back. To arrange for an interview, please contact Karen Robinson, Assistant Director of Media Relations at 410-706-0023 or at Karobinson@umaryland.edu.
