On back-to-back days in late September, a specialty tuberculosis drug saw its price raised 2, 600 percent,

Turing Pharmaceuticals, a start-up run by a former hedge fund manager, acquired the infectious disease drug Daraprim in August.
Turing then raised the price to $750 a tablet from $13. 50, bringing the annual cost of treatment for some patients to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Turing CEO Martin Shkreli announced the company had agreed to lower the price of the drug to a point that is ore affordable,
and will still allow the company to make a profitut a small profit, he urged.
Shkreli did not announce the new price however. Turing price hike on an old drug is indicative of a growing business trend in pharma where new companies buy old,

The effect on generic drugs Generic drugs are intended to serve as the national policy solution to high prescription drug prices.
Traditionally, when a generic enters the field, drug prices decrease by 80 to 90 percent for oral prescriptions.
prices usually decrease about 60 to 80 percent. In the last five years however, this has not been happening as it has in the past.
According to a recent survey by Consumer Reports, 33 percent of Americans have seen their prescription price rise an average of $39 over the last year.

As for the rest of the price inflation it a tale as old as time. here is this natural ecology of price where the market appears to be signaling they are willing to pay higher prices,

Given the expense of R&d, that may not be enough time for manufacturers to recoup their costs.
because they don get their money worth. This would decrease competition even further and put innovation, safety and efficacy on the ropes.
and giving up competition that would make prices more reasonable, said Schwartz. So, how do we strike that balance?
Schwartz says it all about better pharmacological economics. rugs should get a preferred status from the government

Medicare Part D Medicare, specifically Part D, plays a huge role in prescription drug prices. It also one of the most hotly contested issues in the pharmaceutical industry
Now, however, it has fallen under scrutiny as drug prices continue to rise across the nation. The big deal with Medicare Part D is this:
it has a noninterference clause that bars the federal government from negotiating prices directly with pharmaceutical companies.
Most other countries give the government direct saynd most other countries have significantly lower drug prices than the U s. So,
Monthly premiums for the program are expected to be $32. 50 for 2016 price that has risen barely in the last five years.

artificially low prices could deprive drug companies of future funds to invest in the risky, expensive research that leads to better treatments and cures.

Additionally, drug prices around the world are pegged off the U s. price. If the U s. was to implement a drastic policy change

Arvidsson says it is likely the country's entire payment system infrastructure will have to be revamped. That may not be as prohibitive an idea as it sounds.
