Many Americans are paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket every single month to pay for life-saving prescription drugs. Even with good health insurance coverage, some of these common drugs can have absurd costs. Did you know that Lipitor, the second most commonly prescribed drug in America, has an average cost of $218.51? For people without health insurance, that price point may not even be possible, leaving many without the prescription drugs they need to lead healthy lives. A new infographic from DrugReport details the average cost of the 50 most common prescription drugs in America, and the results are surprising.
While several commonly prescribed drugs, like acetaminophen and aspirin, have manageable price points, many are unreasonably high. What’s worse is that many of these prescription drugs are necessary for people with serious health problems. Without sufficient health insurance or wealth, obtaining these prescription drugs may result in financial hardship.
