This R&D provides information on prescription drug costs in the U.S. Prescription drug spending rose 14% in the U.S. last year, which pharmacies say is due to a rising cost of specialty drugs. California recently became the first state in the nation to cap co-pays for prescription drugs at $250 a month and other states may follow it lead. State legislators are also looking into ways that they can make the pricing of prescription drugs more transparent. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has proposed granting greater powers to federal authorities to negotiate drug prices to deal with the issue.
Nearly 70% of Americans are taking at least one prescription drug and more than half take two http://t.co/vOweOWneMh via @MONEY
