STUDY
Bible believing bible study meeting on
Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m.
and examine some of the clearest
examples of the increased costs.
After you arrive at www.cms.
gov, type “Medicare drug spend-
ing dashboard” in the search
field.
The new database lists 80 med-
ications that were chosen because
they triggered the highest overall
spending or the greatest per-pa-
tient expenditures or the largest
percentage price increases.
For each drug listed, you’ll see
the total amount that Medicare
and its beneficiaries spent on it in
2014, recent trends in its price and
the number of older Americans
who depend on it.
Here are a few of the findings:
• The hepatitis C drug Sovaldi
accounted for the highest ex-
penditure at $3.1 billion. Used
by about 33,000 Medicare
beneficiaries, it had a $1,000-
per-pill price when it entered
the market in 2014.
• Remodulin, which treats high
blood pressure in the lungs,
had the largest per-user spend-
ing at $133,845. A total of
1,235 beneficiaries used the
drug, whose cost amounted to
$165.3 million.
• The pain reliever Vimovo had
the biggest increase in its per-
unit cost between 2013 and
2014, rising 543 percent after
one company purchased rights
to the drug from another.
By putting such data in the
hands of consumers, providers
and researchers, Medicare hopes
the public will gain a better un-
derstanding of what’s going on
with prescription drug costs. A
similar database for Medicaid’s
drug spending will be unveiled
later this year.
The Medicare database comes
on the heels of a recent forum in
Washington that brought together
consumer advocates, pharmaceu-
tical company executives, insur-
ance industry representatives and
government officials to discuss
how we can continue to encour-
age drug discoveries and still en-
sure that those new medicines are
accessible.
Developing ground-breaking
drugs requires significant invest-
ment, and there’s no disputing
that this nation needs to support
that important work. Without such
innovation, we won’t have the
drugs that will better manage dia-
betes and heart disease and maybe
even cure cancer.
But, as CMS’ leaders have said,
we shouldn’t accept the notion
that we as a society must choose
between innovation and afford-
ability. We deserve both.
Shedding new light on drug
spending may help offer some
clues in our search for an effec-
tive strategy that makes sure as
many people as possible can ben-
efit from today’s, and tomorrow’s,
wonder drugs.

By Bob Moos
Southwest public affairs officer for the U.S.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
You only have to look at the
latest receipt from your pharma-
cist to know that prescription drug
costs are rising.
Nationwide, spending on med-
ications grew 13 percent in 2014,
far outstripping the 5 percent
overall increase for health care
spending. Prescription drug costs
haven’t gone up that fast since
2001.
Sometimes, the increase was
due to a breakthrough medicine
whose cure comes at a high price.
Other times, it was the result of an
overnight tripling of the cost of a
generic drug that has been around
for years.
Millions of Americans depend
on prescription medications to
manage chronic illnesses or treat
acute conditions. But surveys sug-
gest that as many as 25 percent of
us don’t fill a prescription because
we can’t afford it.
As people stop filling their
scripts, they not only jeopardize
their health, they also run the
risk of costing themselves and
the health care system even more
when they fall sick from condi-
tions that could have been pre-
vented.
Naturally, rising drug costs
have prompted consumers to ask
questions.
What medications in particular
are driving up prices? Are brand-
name or generic drug costs grow-
ing faster? And, most important,
what can be done to make needed
medications affordable?
The U.S. Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services (CMS)
the federal agency that oversees
the Medicare and Medicaid pro-
grams, has a vested interest in en-
couraging this public discussion.
It spent $140 billion on drugs for
seniors, the poor, children and
people with disabilities in 2014.
The agency recently created an
online database - at www.cms.gov
- that allows anyone to dive into
Medicare’s prescription drug data
