    In addition to health care organizations, The Reliable Pharmaceuticals Service is a providers of delivery services to nursing homes, hospitals, and in-patient residential rehabilitation facilities. All of the medical facilities using the pharmaceutical company are able to place telephone orders and have those orders delivered promptly. The company was started in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1975 and the business has been very successful and an expansion is needed to keep up with the growing demand of pharmaceutical deliveries. Currently the company is using a computer based system with order entry, Excel spreadsheets, Access database, and a billing and inventory management in an effort to have everything accurate and organized. About 10 years ago the profits of the company started to decline because of new laws regarding reimbursements from Medicaid and Medicare, managed health organizations, and other large health care insurance companies. Another major factor to the declining profits is because of national retail pharmacies and inefficient procedures.

    How would you feel if your everyday medications price went up by hundreds of dollars? Now you’re left to pay the huge cost upfront! This is exactly what happened to the prescription drug called, Daraprim. In Andrew Pollack’s article, “Drug Goes From $13.50 a Tablet to $750, Overnight,” Pollack describes what Daraprim is: “a 62-year-old drug that is the standard of care for treating a life-threatening parasitic infection.” In our society of rapid change, the prescription drug companies are allowing the cost of their medications to be up-charged. Because of the free market in the pharmaceutical companies, this allows them to change their prices when it best suits them. In our world of fast-paced technology and the evolvement of pharmaceuticals, enforcing a cap on prescription drug prices may create an improvement on the physical welfare of current generations and increase the feasibility for individuals to keep up with their everyday expenses.…

    “Last February, the price of Evzio, an auto-injected drug that is used to treat opioid overdose, jumped to over $4,000 — from just $690 in 2014 — just as demand for the medicine was quickly rising.” states the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons). Price hikes for prescription drugs have become a recurring problem. They’ve gotten so expensive that many people can’t afford them, and they seem to only be getting more expensive. Though many would argue that it’s a business’ choice if they want to raise the price of their product, it’s dangerous to allow them to do so. Pharmaceutical companies should have a set price limit, otherwise the skyrocket of prices hurt those who rely on the now expensive drugs.…

    U. S. citizens pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. This is an injustice that must be corrected. The "U.S. forbids the import of prescription drugs by anyone other than the original U.S. manufacturer, and even then only when the drugs meet all the approval requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)" (Barlett & Steele, 2004). Prescription drug prices are outrageously high in the United States because of the influence of advertising on consumer purchasing, the misleading statements by pharmaceutical companies about the cost of research and development of new drugs, the manipulation of patent laws, the antiquated laws regarding importation of drugs, and the influence of the greedy pharmaceutical companies ' lobby on the Federal government. Prescription drug costs in the United States are unreasonably high, and consumers should have the option to save money by purchasing prescription drugs from reputable companies in Canada and the developed world.…
