Press Release Summary: Out of control health care costs are the results of many factors, however the biggest one is the high price of drugs.
Press Release Body: Health care costs make the news daily. This is not rocket science to note the trend in health care rather than being towards caring for people by offering reasonably priced health care insurance, the costs are so prohibitive many Americans do not have health insurance.
Pundits think it is the cost of treatment that drives prices up. It is in part, but the major culprits are drug manufacturers. Take a look at Part D drug coverage prices and the prices for drugs will wake people up to the high cost of health care.
People are forking out more cash for drugs because they are asking for and buying brand name drugs. There is no reason to do this when generic drugs will do the same job. Drug companies have wised up over the years and have promoted their new drugs directly to the consumer. The consumer now drives the drug manufacturing market.
When a new drug hits the market and people are inundated with a barrage of advertising about this drug being better than ever before they head straight to their family doctor and demand to try that drug for their condition.
People are buying brand name X drug that is supposedly new and improved. However, in more and more cases, the so-called new and improved drug is actually the same drug as the old one. The drug company just made it into an extended release form or blended it with another drug.
This kind of manipulation of drugs and misleading marketing is done because drug manufacturers need to sustain profit levels. If a drug company doesn't have another new drug to develop and promote, their bottom line suffers. This takes advantage of consumers.
Drug companies also interfere in the process for other manufacturers to make and sell generic versions of their original drugs. All this spells "EXPENSIVE." Mix this with the fact that it is very difficult to get lower cost drugs from Canada and there is a recipe for a health care system driven by profit hungry drug companies.
To save money on health care costs, demand generic drugs.
