Prescription Drugs: Advancing Ideas to Improve Access, Affordability, and Innovation
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services [CMS], U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] Nov. 6, 2015
"Surveys suggest that as many as 25 percent of Americans cannot afford and, therefore, do not fill the prescriptions on which they depend. And, spending on medicines increased 13 percent in 2014, compared to 5 percent for health care spending growth overall, the highest rate of drug spending growth since 2001. An important element of this increase in costs is due to new specialty drugs.... [CMS has] issued a notice to all 50 state Medicaid directors and sent letters to the CEOs of several drug manufacturers about providing access to therapy for Hepatitis C patients."
