The annual increase on price of pharmaceuticals are becoming a growing health concern in the United States for patients, prescribers, and policy makers.

Why is this an issue?
• Prices of newly marketed and pre-existing pharmaceuticals in the United States has exponentially increased each year.
• The United States has spent more on pharmaceuticals than other countries. (PGPF)
• Increase in co-payments for pharmaceuticals reduce affordability of prescribed regiments and reduce patient adherence. (Kesselheim et. al.)

How did the issue come to be?
A series of instances have led to the issue at hand such as:
• United States healthcare system enables pharmaceutical manufacturers possessing the ability to freely set prices after approval. (Rome et.al.)
• The United States possesses market forces that enable continuous high pharmaceutical prices: protection from competition and negotiating power. (Kesselheim et. al.).
