Controlling Drug Costs

Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy released another study of drug spending among industrialized countries; this time for 2012. It didn't break new ground. The U.S. at $1,010 per capita was the biggest spender. Germany was next at only at $668 per capita,or about a third less than us. Maybe we should emulate Germany and other countries and institute some kind of price control mechanism.
