Talked to my Pharmacist today about drug company pricing.

20. I don't know about this story. I deal closely with several high dollar biotech drugs and pricing has

been remarkably stable (granting a lot less room than other drugs to go up so my picture maybe distorted).

I can imagine that his drug cost could have quadrupled while individual drug cost are stable or even drop in some cases because of stuff staying on patent longer, better diagnosis and the accompanying on patent therapies, plans allowing certain medications to even be filled locally rather than coming from a large specialty pharmacy and then having to stock stuff they never did before.

Really, I think it is mostly the latter factor. I bet if he went drug by drug comparing apples to apples he would see that costs aren't going up so much as he is in the position carrying more expensive stock and fewer things go generic to balance that out some.
