摘要

As public concern about health care costs intensifies, the escalation inprescription drug costs--borne by consumers, insurers, and other third-party payers--has spurred congressional interest in ways to curb the growth of prescription drug prices. The 102nd Congress introduced at least 11 bills to constrain drug prices, yet none of these was enacted. To monitor prescription drug pricing, some of these bills would have created a federal board, modelled after Canada's Patented Medicine Prices Review Board. In a recent study, the authors found that manufacturers charge less for many drugs in Canada than in the United States and that the Canadian approach to regulating drug prices contributes to this price differential. You asked that we (1) describe the purpose and structure of Canada's Patented Medicine Prices Review Board as well as its guidelines and procedures, especially those used to determine if a drug price is excessive, and (2) summarize the evidence about the effects of the Board's actions in Canada on the prices of new drugs, on price increases for existing drugs, and on pharmaceutical research and development (R&D).
