Congress urged to curb rising prescription drug costs
Lawmakers faced pleas from insurers and seniors groups for new laws to curb brand-name drug prices that have risen faster than inflation over four years. Drug industry reps defended the increases as needed for research and new medications. Aides noted the administration is open to considering target payment rules for commonly used drugs. In Michigan, Blue Cross Blue Shield reported brand-name prescription costs jumped 92 percent last year, far above hospital and physician cost increases.
