The investigation revealed that individuals paying for their own drugs, including seniors, are charged significantly higher prices compared to large insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, and the federal government. Seniors in Maryland’s 7th Congressional District are found to pay more than twice as much for prescription drugs on average, indicating a substantial and concerning price differential. The discriminatory pricing contributes to the growing challenge of older Americans affording necessary prescription medications, emphasizing the need to address and rectify these pricing practices.19 pagesenStaff ReportsHouse Minority Staff Report3: Health335: Prescription Drug Coverage and Costs106No
