Why Americans Spend So Much on Health Care—In 12 Charts
Prices are hidden behind insurance deals, hospital consolidation pushes up costs and the health sector is a growing power in the economy.
The prices of many medicines are hidden because pharmacy-benefit managers—the companies that administer drug benefits for employers and health insurers—negotiate confidential discounts and rebates with drugmakers.
Humira, an immunosuppressive, is the best-selling drug in the U.S. Its manufacturer, AbbVie Inc., discounted the price for insurers, PBMs and other purchasers by about 16% from its advertised price in 2016—a big jump from a decade earlier, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. It isn’t known how much of those discounts are passed to employers and consumers, and how much is pocketed by insurers and PBMs as profit.
One reason prices are rising: Hospitals are becoming more consolidated and are using their market clout to negotiate higher prices from insurers.
