Two-Thirds of US Residents Support More Regulation of Prescription Drug Prices, Poll Shows
Sixty-five percent of US residents support more federal regulation of prescription drug prices, and 51% support additional regulations on prescription drug advertisements, according to a... Kaiser Family Foundation survey released Thursday, the AP/Las Vegas Sun reports. The survey, which had a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points, included interviews with 1,200 adults in the first week of February. According to the survey, 74% of adults attribute the increase in prescription drug costs to profits by pharmaceutical companies and cost of marketing and advertising, compared to 22% who say it is mostly because of the cost of research (AP/Las Vegas Sun, 2/24). The survey says that 46% of adults support more federal regulation of prescription drug prices, even if they heard investment in research and development of new medications would decrease (Reuters, 2/24). According to other recent data from the foundation, 69% of adults cite high profits by drug companies as a very important contributor to recent increases in health care costs, more than any other factor. According to the Newark Star-Ledger, the survey indicates a "growing suspicion" among many U.S. residents about the pharmaceutical industry that is "repeatedly underscored by debates over prices, drug safety and promotional spending by companies" (Silverman, Newark Star-Ledger, 2/25). Forty-four percent of people had a "favorable" opinion of pharmaceutical companies, including 14% with a "very favorable" view, compared with 50% who had an "unfavorable" opinion, the survey finds (Kaiser Family Foundation release, 2/24). Seventy-seven percent of people said that they have confidence in the ability of FDA to ensure prescription drug safety, with more than 25% saying that they have less confidence than in the past, the survey says (Newark Star-Ledger, 2/25). Nearly eight in 10 adults say prescription drugs have had a positive impact on people's lives, and 91% say drug companies make an important contribution to society by researching and developing new medications, according to the survey (Kaiser Family Foundation release, 2/24). Reaction
Drew Altman, Kaiser Family Foundation president and CEO, said, "Rightly or wrongly, drug companies are now the No. 1 villain in the public's eye when it comes to rising health care costs" (Newark Star-Ledger, 2/25). Mollyann Brodie, a Kaiser Family Foundation vice president and director of public opinion and media research, added, "Recent controversy over the safety of a few popular drugs has yet to shift public perception of the FDA. Most people continue to express confidence in the FDA's ability to ensure the safety of prescription drugs" (Kaiser Family Foundation release, 2/24). Addressing the New Jersey chapter of the Wharton Club on Wednesday, Roy Vagelos, a former Merck CEO, said, "We have to be very careful on pricing. In the recent past, the industry has raised prices quite briskly. And while most drugs are priced fairly, there are some outliers. And they'll damage the industry" (Newark Star-Ledger, 2/24).
The survey, part of a Kaiser Health Poll Report on public perception of prescription drugs and the drug industry, is available online.
