Clinton ad claims seven of ten Americans on prescription drugs
The FactChecker assesses Hillary Clinton's TV ad claims on prescription drug use and price increases. It concludes 68 percent in a Mayo Clinic study and nearly 60 percent in a JAMA study indicate widespread use. drug price increases are driven largely by specialty drugs, though overall inflation across all prescriptions ran about 37 percent since 2008. The piece notes context, sources, and cautions about national representativeness and methodology.
