OPINION — Affordability is on the ballot this year.
The cost of housing, gasoline and groceries is up, leaving Arizona families struggling to keep pace. Now, three out of four Americans also cite rising healthcare costs as one of the nation’s biggest problems, one driven in large part by high prescription-drug prices.
Prescription drugs are already three times more expensive for Americans than the rest of the developed world, and up more than 40% over the past decade alone. Given this, is it any surprise that 94% of U.S. voters blame Big Pharma for these skyrocketing drug costs?
