Description

Jasper Freeman, Director of National Accounts at SC Pharmaceuticals, didn't just return to medical sales—he came back with a mission to change it.

In this episode, Jasper shares how he helped launch FUROSCIX, a revolutionary heart failure treatment designed to keep patients out of the hospital and improve care at home. But that's just the beginning.

We dive into:

  • The untold story of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and their massive influence over drug pricing and access
  • Why the insurance-sales-patient triangle is the key battleground in healthcare innovation
  • What the U.S. can learn from other countries about lowering costs and improving care
  • Bold reform ideas—from slashing med school tuition to rethinking drug distribution

This is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the business of healthcare, guided by someone who's lived it at the highest levels.

If you're in medical sales—or trying to break in—this episode is a masterclass on what's next and how to lead the change.
