Tell The Tribune: Have you rationed or stopped taking a prescription drug due to cost?
(Charlie Neibergall | The Associated Press) Retired public school teacher Gail Orcutt, of Altoona, Iowa, holds some of the prescription drugs she takes, Friday, Feb. 15, 2019, in Altoona, Iowa. Orcutt pays $2,600 the first month of the year, and then $750 every other month for a lung cancer medication. With health care a top issue for American voters, Congress may actually be moving toward doing something this year to address the high cost of prescription drugs.
How are rising prescription drug prices affecting your health care choices? National surveys show an increasing number of patients are rationing or foregoing medications because they can't afford to buy what they are prescribed. The Salt Lake Tribune would like to hear from you about your own experiences, and your views on purchasing drugs in other countries.
