Dr. Steve Miller, the chief medical officer of Express Scripts, sits at the center of the storm over rising drug prices.

Miller has watched super-sized drug prices infuriate patients and strain the health care system with growing frequency, starting when a new hepatitis C drug hit the market at $84,000 for a course of treatment and continuing through the recent revelation that the price of Mylan's EpiPen rose more than 500 percent since 2007.
