Book excerpt: The European experience with drug re-importation (or more correctly in the European context, parallel trade in drugs) shows that due to the nature of European drug licensing, regulatory regimes, and insurance plans, the benefits of such trade accrue to importers and pharmacists, rather than to consumers or the original manufacturers of the drugs. [...] The drugs are American in the sense that the companies which made them happen, at the moment, to be headquartered in the United States. [...] While the price of patented drugs is higher in the United States than in the rest of the world, once drugs come off patent, American consumers generally do better than the rest of us, at least from the perspective of the market price of drugs. [...] Eventually, of course, those high prices and the consequent high drug expenditures will be passed back to consumers in the form of higher insurance premiums, but in the absence of a direct link between their drug usage and what they pay for insurance, this in itself will not create an incentive for the individual consumer to keep an eye on the full prices of the prescriptions that he has filled. [...] How the profits are divided is a matter for bargaining, but in the AstraZeneca case mentioned above, the drug company will have received only the profit that it made on the original, non-Swedish sale, while the profit that it would have made on the Swedish sale will have gone to the druggists and the parallel importer.

This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.
