SUMMARY:ACHP Twitter Chat – The Spike in Drug Costs
DESCRIPTION:Prescription drug costs\, especially for chronic conditions\, are rising alarmingly: \n\n\nThe cost of treating the nation’s million-plus rheumatoid arthritis sufferers is expected to reach $9.3 billion by 2020 – a 45 percent jump from 2013. \n\n\nOne in 11 Americans suffers from diabetes\, and related medication spending is expected to rise 18.3 percent over the next three years. \n\n\nNew drugs for multiple sclerosis\, which affects more than 400\,000 Americans\, are being priced up to 25-60 percent higher than existing ones. \n\n\nThe Alliance of Community Health Plans invites you to join us for a Twitter chat on Thursday\, March 31 from noon-12:30 p.m. EDT at #ACHPDrugCosts to discuss the high cost of prescription drugs and ways we can collectively begin to address the issue. The chat will explore issues  including: \n\n\nHow are high drug prices affecting people’s lives? \n\n\nHow are health plans working with patients to ensure they receive proper treatment? \n\n\nHow do you define the value of a drug? \n\n\nWhat are possible solutions to the cost problem? \n\n\nJoin the conversation at #ACHPDrugCosts from noon-12:30 p.m. EDT on Thursday\, March 31 and follow us on Twitter @_ACHP.
