According to a report by the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
“One drug that quickly reduces blood pressure has shot up threefold, from $200 to about $600.
Another medication that helps reduce swelling in critically ill patients has risen 879 percent, from about $470 to more than $4,600.
And still another drug that increases bone density has gone up 3,500 percent, from about $50 a vial to more than $1,800.”
Those aren’t small hikes — those are huge hikes — and it’s often the patient who gets stuck with the bill.
