Examining High Prescription Drug Spending for People with Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance
The Peterson Center on Healthcare and the Kaiser Family Foundation 
Oct. 28, 2016
"Average retail drug spending in employer plans held relatively steady from 2004 to 2013, ranging from $909 in 2004 to $947 in 2013 (adjusted for inflation), before growing 13.0% in 2014 to $1,053 per enrollee.... [R]etail prescription drug spending does, however, represent a larger share of total employer insurance benefits (21%) than retail drugs represent as a share of total national health spending (10%), so growth in prescription drug spending may have a relatively large effect on employer-sponsored health insurance premiums."
