REINING IN THE HIGH COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS THE HIGH AND RISING COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS IS A BURDEN ON ALL OREGONIANS, NOT JUST THOSE WHO DEPEND ON EXPENSIVE SPECIALTY MEDICATIONS. OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS, THE PRICE OF DRUGS HAS RISEN AT 10 TIMES THE RATE OF INFLATION, INCREASING INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND STRETCHING THE STATE BUDGET. IN FY18, OSPIRG HELPED PASS THE PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICE TRANSPARENCY ACT, WHICH REQUIRES DRUG MANUFACTURERS TO EXPLAIN WHERE ALL THE MONEY IS GOING WHEN THEY RAISE PRICES. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O. EXPERTS AGREE THAT PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES HAVE LITTLE RELATION TO WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SPENDS ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND THAT THOSE EXPENSES ARE ROUTINELY OVERSTATED BY THE DRUG INDUSTRY. BY REQUIRING TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM DRUG COMPANIES, THIS LAW WILL HELP PREVENT SOME OF THE MOST EGREGIOUS PRICE GOUGING, AND EXPOSE VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT PRICE FACTORS THAT WILL ENABLE OREGON TO TAKE FURTHER, CONCRETE STEPS TO REIN IN THE HIGH COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. 2.
