House Committee on Government Reform
House Committee on Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Government Reform compares prescription drug prices in Maryland’s 7th Congressional District with prices in Canada and Mexico. The study finds that senior citizens and uninsured consumers in Maryland’s 7th Congressional District pay 98% more for prescription drugs compared to consumers in Canada and 95% higher than those in Mexico. The findings suggest a consistent pattern of price discrimination by drug manufacturers, affecting senior citizens and other self-paying consumers.
