Questiоn 3, pаrt 3/3: An оrphаn diseаse is a cоndition that affects fewer than 200,000 people nationwide. This includes a wide range of conditions, including cystic fibrosis, Lou Gehrig's disease, Tourette's syndrome, as well as less familiar diseases such as adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and acromegaly ("gigantism"). Collectively, there are as many as 7,000 orphan diseases that affect between 25-30 million Americans, according to the National Institutes of Health. What are two policies that can incentivize research and development on drugs for orphan diseases? Please describe what the policy does (do not just give the name of a policy that has been implemented in the past) and be specific about how the policy changes the incentive structure for drug companies.
