Is help on the way? : Cost of prescription medications is the fastest rising component of the Medical Assistance Program. This cost is also putting significant strain on Pennsylvania's PACE Program, which pays the prescription medica- tion costs for Seniors of limited means; PACE is funded through the Pennsylvania State Lottery. Aside from these Government-sponsored programs, most people pay more directly and personally for the cost of their own prescriptions. Government policy toward medication costs, could however "filter down" and affect what most people pay for their prescription medications. Legislative changes to influence price of prescrip- tion medications, are probably the next big issue in con- trolling the price of medical care. So far, with regard to cost of prescription medications, the Government has been passive, much like car insurance companies have been passive in passing on costs without examining them closely. Medication prices have not been exam- ined and regulated the way doctor's reimbursements have been. But changes are being considered, mostly on the Federal level. For example, Senator David Pryor (D-AR) has noted that one particular branch of the Federal Government, the Department of Veterans Affairs, pays from 40 to 70 percent less for drugs than the Medicaid (Medical Assistance) Program; he there- fore is asking why difference, for publicly-supported programs. Ultimately, suchawareness may affect larger groups of medical consumers, apart from Veterans, Medicare, or Medical Assistance beneficiaries. A different legislative initiative is designed to save Medicare and Medicaid dollars spent for dealing with drug abuse connected with prescription narcotics, amphetamines, and tranquilizers. According to U.S. Congressman Pete Stark (D-Calif), prescription drug abuse is responsible for a third to all emergency room overdoses, at a cost to taxpayers of about $1 billion per year, nation-wide. Stark has introduced legislation to require that prescriptions for such drugs be written on "accountable" prescription forms, modeled after pro- grams now in effect in New York, California, Illinois, and Texas. Savings to taxpayers are clear, for example in New York, which enjoyed a 31 percent cut in tranquilizer-related emergency room admissions, and a savings of $18 to $24 million in drug costs. These leg- islative proposals are just beginning to receive atten- tion on the Federal level, but the number of proposals indicates a growing interest in Congress to examine and contain the rising cost of prescription drugs in Federal programs. Tax monies may be saved, and later, the cost of prescription medications for the rest of us may be influenced. The final shape of things ‘will require our input, to our legislators. \ This health awareness is brought to you as c service to the Back Mountain community by Robert Greenhalgh, M.D..
