The Debate Over Drug Pricing (Diane Rehm Show)

Surveys in recent years have repeatedly shown that Americans are concerned about the cost of prescription drugs. But concern turned to outrage this month when a pharmaceutical company jacked up the price of a generic drug called Daraprim from $13.50 to $750. The company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, has since said it would lower the price. But the spotlight on drug prices remains strong. Some blame greed by drug makers and a lack of competition. Others blame government regulation. We discuss why drugs cost what they do – and what can be done to lower prices for consumers.
