Prescription Drug Prices in the US

摘要

In most industrialized countries, unlike the US, drug prices are regulated by the government. Centralized advisory boards determine the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a drug. Prices are based in part on external price referencing (comparison of drug prices in several countries to determine a reference price) and are often transparent and capped.~(2) Fewer payers are involved, and in some countries, there is only a single public payer.
