75%-90% of which is paid for by insurance com)panies - prescription drugs now account for 9% of total health expenditures Sim)ilarly, claim)s by insurers and corporations - that drug costs are driving insurance costs up in general - are overstated According to health analyst J.D Kleinke, since pharm)acy costs represent only 9% of all spending, even increases of 20% could not be responsible for insurance prem)ium) increases of 10%-15% over the last two years: Prem)ium)s have been increasing far out of proportion to increasing total m)edical costs over the past three years The fact is we should spend m)ore on newer, m)ore expensive m)edicines because they are worth the investm)ent Medical innovation creates what Harvard econom)ist David Cutler calls health capital — the ability of people to stay well early and consistently throughout their lives, and rem)ain that way at an increasingly older age In fact, under the m)ost conservative assum)ption, the U.S would have needed only about 30% of the im)provem)ent in m)edical progress over the period in tim)e In the case of congestive heart failure, Mr Cutler found that increased consum)ption of new and m)ore expensive drugs and other innovative technologies generated longer life, m)ore productivity and lower health costs that offset the cost of their developm)ent and consum)ption What has changed the least since 1960? A Percentage of m)oney Am)ericans pay for m)edicines out of their own pockets B The variety of drugs available C Percentage of healthcare dollar on m)edicines D The am)ount of m)oney spent on drugs by insurance com)panies Claim)s by insurers and corporations that drug costs are driving insurance costs are overstated because A drug costs have not increased in the past B insurance costs have not increased in the past C prem)ium)s have increased by m)ore than 20% in the last two years D prem)ium)s have increased m)uch m)ore than have total m)edical costs in the past three years The way to invest in health capital is to A adopt a healthy lifestyle B spend around 10% of the healthcare m)oney on m)edicines C spend m)oney on m)edicines that the latest m)edical science can offer D spend m)ore m)oney on m)edical care in spite of higher health costs The cost of congestive heart failure illustrates that A health capital is no guarantee for a better life B using newer drugs m)ay prove too expensive for m)any people C using newer drugs contributes to a better life D it is difficult to m)ake people spend m)ore on m)edicines
