A Small Group of Patients Facing High Drug Costs Drive Health Care Spending
Drew Altman, via Axios Link to more items from this source
July 29, 2019

'Persistently high spenders' are people who have accumulated big health care bills for at least 3 consecutive years. They often have HIV, MS, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, cancer and other serious conditions requiring frequent and often costly care. Drugs are lifesavers for these patients, but also big offenders when it comes to costs."
