Book Description
Prescription drugs account for a large portion of health care expenditures. In 2006, expenditures for prescription drugs among the entire U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population accounted for 21.6 percent of total health care expenditures. In 1996, prescription drug expenditures accounted for only 11.9 percent of total health care expenditures. While prescription drug expenditures are a significant portion of total health care expenditures, the percentage of individuals that have them, as well as the average expenditure amount and the proportion paid by each source can vary considerably across states. Using data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC), this Statistical Brief presents estimates of prescription drug expenditures for persons under age 65 in the 10 largest states for the year 2006 and compares these to the national average. The focus is on persons under age 65 to limit the effect of age differences between the state populations on their prescription drug use differences. Only those estimates with statistically significant differences from the national average using a multiple comparison procedure at the .05 level are noted in the text.

Book Description
In 2007, prescription drugs accounted for 20.7 percent of the overall health care expenditures among the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. 61.7 percent of the population had a prescription drug expenditure, and the average annual expense amount for them was $1,251. Prescription drug expenditures are distinguished from overall health care expenditures in the distribution by sources of payment. A higher percentage of the prescription drug expenditures was paid out of pocket (27.7 percent for drugs versus 16.2 percent overall) and a lower percentage was paid by private insurance (35.5 percent versus 42.4 percent) in 2007. Prescription drug and overall expenditures were similar regarding the percentage paid by Medicare (24.7 percent versus 24.8 percent) and Medicaid (7.8 percent versus 8.7 percent) in 2007. Many factors can influence health care expenses in a particular state, including the demographic, socioeconomic, and health status characteristics of the population. Further, the prevalence and types of health insurance coverage in a state can impact access to care, the level of expenditures, and the extent to which different sources finance health care services. This Statistical Brief presents estimates based on data from the Household Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-HC) on the use, expenditures, and sources of payments for prescription drug expenditures for persons in the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population in 2007 for the 10 largest states, and compares the results to the national average in 2007. Only those estimates with statistically significant differences from the national average using a multiple comparison procedure at the .05 significance level are noted in the text.

Book Description
Many Americans believe that people who lack health insurance somehow get the care they really need. Care Without Coverage examines the real consequences for adults who lack health insurance. The study presents findings in the areas of prevention and screening, cancer, chronic illness, hospital-based care, and general health status. The committee looked at the consequences of being uninsured for people suffering from cancer, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, heart and kidney disease, mental illness, traumatic injuries, and heart attacks. It focused on the roughly 30 million-one in seven-working-age Americans without health insurance. This group does not include the population over 65 that is covered by Medicare or the nearly 10 million children who are uninsured in this country. The main findings of the report are that working-age Americans without health insurance are more likely to receive too little medical care and receive it too late; be sicker and die sooner; and receive poorer care when they are in the hospital, even for acute situations like a motor vehicle crash.

Book Description
Thanks to remarkable advances in modern health care attributable to science, engineering, and medicine, it is now possible to cure or manage illnesses that were long deemed untreatable. At the same time, however, the United States is facing the vexing challenge of a seemingly uncontrolled rise in the cost of health care. Total medical expenditures are rapidly approaching 20 percent of the gross domestic product and are crowding out other priorities of national importance. The use of increasingly expensive prescription drugs is a significant part of this problem, making the cost of biopharmaceuticals a serious national concern with broad political implications. Especially with the highly visible and very large price increases for prescription drugs that have occurred in recent years, finding a way to make prescription medicinesâ€"and health care at largeâ€"more affordable for everyone has become a socioeconomic imperative. Affordability is a complex function of factors, including not just the prices of the drugs themselves, but also the details of an individual's insurance coverage and the number of medical conditions that an individual or family confronts. Therefore, any solution to the affordability issue will require considering all of these factors together. The current high and increasing costs of prescription drugsâ€"coupled with the broader trends in overall health care costsâ€"is unsustainable to society as a whole. Making Medicines Affordable examines patient access to affordable and effective therapies, with emphasis on drug pricing, inflation in the cost of drugs, and insurance design. This report explores structural and policy factors influencing drug pricing, drug access programs, the emerging role of comparative effectiveness assessments in payment policies, changing finances of medical practice with regard to drug costs and reimbursement, and measures to prevent drug shortages and foster continued innovation in drug development. It makes recommendations for policy actions that could address drug price trends, improve patient access to affordable and effective treatments, and encourage innovations that address significant needs in health care.
