This week HHS announced goals and a timeline for shifting Medicare payments from volume to value. Shortly after, a new task force of payers and providers formed to facilitate the transition away from fee-for-service payments.

Novartis reported that it expects payers will begin to push back against cancer drug therapy costs.
