Over the past five months, virtually all Medicare (Part D) plans raised prices for the top drugs prescribed to seniors, according to a report issued by the Health Consumer Organization, Families USA. The report, based on pricing data submitted by the plans to the federal government, contradicts the Bush Administrations assertions that the new Medicare drug program is effectively moderating rising drug costs. The Families USA report examines Part D plan prices for the top 20 drugs prescribed for seniors. It found that:*100 percent of Part D plans raised their prices for Zocor (40 mg), a cholesterol-lowering drug. *Almost 99 percent of Part D plans raised their prices for Fosamax (70 mg), a drug used to treat osteoporosis.

*More than 97 percent of the plans raised their prices for Lipitor (10 mg), a cholesterol-lowering drug. *More than 96 percent of the plans raised their prices for Actonel (35 mg), Toprol XL (50 mg and 100 mg), and Xalatan (0.005%), drugs used for osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and glaucoma, respectively. *More than 94 percent of the plans raised their prices for Celebrex (200 mg), Nexium (40 mg), and Norvasc (5 mg), drugs used to treat pain, gastrointestinal problems, and heart problems, respectively. *More than 92 percent of plans raised their prices for Aricept (10 mg), and 89 percent raised their prices for Plavix (75 mg), drugs used for Alzheimers disease and stroke, respectively. At the same time that the Bush Administration and Congressional leaders are touting the effectiveness of the Medicare drug plans, those plans are quietly raising the prices that they charge, said Ron Pollack, Executive Director of Families USA.

As a result, seniors will pay more and more -- as will Americas taxpayers."According to industry experts, in coming months, millions of older Americans and people with disabilities will face a lapse in coverage known as the "doughnut hole" when their annual drug spending hits $2,250. At that point, Medicare drug plans stop paying for medications and require members to absorb another $3,600 in out-of-pocket costs before coverage resumes. And even while the plans aren't paying for their drugs, participants must continue to pay their monthly premiums. That is in addition to the 45 million Americans without any prescription medicine insurance coverage.Likewise, a recent report issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services prescription drug costs are expected to increase by 12.6% a year for the next 10 years,.

By 2010, 16% of what Americans spend each year on personal health care will be spent on prescription drugs, the department said.
