Margo Watson, Debbie Hart, and Dr. Tabitha Campbell discuss the tenet, “We seek after knowledge and wisdom.” “Education is power, and it also helps us to overcome fear. Oftentimes we have fear of the unknown. So the more that we know, the better prepared we are.” - Debbie Hart “You have to take care of your physical health in order to take care of your mental health and vice versa.” - Dr. Tabitha Campbell “Education is truly a springboard for opportunity.” - Margo Watson “Wisdom comes with experience. And as you have more experience, you gain wisdom. You can read about something and learn about it, but until you kind of experience it and go through it in your life, then I think that becomes wisdom. When you have knowledge, it leads to making choices that take you down a path in your life, often brings you personal success and personal fulfillment, and joy and happiness. With that, you gain the wisdom of those years of doing the things that you learned to do.” - Debbie Hart “There is an infusion of problem solving that comes with self reliance.” - Margo Watson “I think it is important that women recognize that you don't necessarily have to go to University to get an education. There are great programs and technical programs and other ways to gain education and to gain professional ability that you might use. … Look around and see where the opportunities are … to get an education.” - Debbie Hart “Really find something that you may be passionate about, it may be something completely out of left field, but there is a way that you can gain knowledge and gain power and wisdom through that passion.” - Dr. Tabitha Campbell Debbie Hart is a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She and her husband Keven have been married 47 years. They have 5 adult children plus their spouses and 11 grandchildren. She and her husband recently retired and are enjoying traveling to many countries around the world. They love seeing the UNESCO World Heritage sites and learning about world history, civilizations and religions. They enjoy meeting people of other cultures and diverse backgrounds. They feel like travel is another form of education and personal development. Debbie says that she has discovered that most people around the world have many of the same desires to find joy and happiness in their families. Dr. Tabitha Campbell received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Kansas City Medical and Biosciences School. She currently is working on her post doctoral education in Neuropsychology, testing the behaviors that result following traumas. Tabitha is an avid horse rider, outdoor enthusiast and traveler.

In this Vital Health Podcast, we speak with Debbie Hart, President & CEO of BioNJ about the direct impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act upon her members. Under Debbie's leadership, BioNJ has earned the reputation as the trusted voice of the life sciences industry in New Jersey. Most recently, she was named by Governor Murphy as the new Chair of the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology which supports innovation with grants and other programs. According to the trade journal BioSpace, “New Jersey is one of the most important states in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry. The state is home to 14 of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies in the U.S., and the New Jersey pharmaceutical industry generates over $120.9 billion in revenue each year, with 63,415 jobs directly linked to the industry.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
At the national level, drug pricing continues to be a hot button issue for lawmakers, drugmakers and patients in the USA.For many years, successive administrations have proposed a range of regulatory reforms designed to contain what some regard as excessive drug prices, with Congress typically unable to agree on a way forward.Meanwhile, at the state level, regulators have sometimes taken matters into their own hands, with the concept of the Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) gaining traction in some cases.These may take different forms, with members of the board typically being appointed from a range of stakeholders. The board is then tasked with reviewing the cost of higher priced products and proposing a suitable reimbursement scheme for review by the state legislature or governor.In Maine, for example, the PDAB reviews medicines that are difficult to afford, costing more than $30,000 per year, or $3,000 for generic medicines, when they increase in price by a certain amount.But many in the industry point out that research and development is expensive, arguing that low levels of reimbursement could threaten to cut off the engine of innovation.And the fact that most new medicines originate in the USA, and are approved there first, suggests that something about the model is working well.Discussing these issues in episode 11 of The Pharma Letter Podcast is Debbie Hart, chief executive of BioNJ, a group representing the biotech industry in New Jersey.
