New prescription drug price hikes hit Black patients hard

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Patients for Affordable Drugs released a report this month showing that pharmaceutical companies increased prices on at least 1,000 prescription drugs so far this year .

About half of the price increases are above the rate of inflation.

One in 3 Americans cannot afford their prescription drugs, the report states.

Some drugs affected include Enhertu, used to treat breast cancer, a less aggressive form of cancer found mostly in Black women.

As the presidential election nears, many are worried that, under a new president, “some pretty significant changes” could affect Medicare and Medicaid .

Patients for Affordable Drugs continues to push for bills like S.142, which prevents pharmaceutical companies from paying generic brands to delay the release of their drugs on the market.
