Prescription Drug Price Elasticity

Abstract: A 6 page paper assessing the economic effects of government payment for all or a portion of seniors' prescription drug needs. The desire to provide seniors with greater assurances that they will be able to afford health care in their latter years is an admirable one, but any route of direct government payment for prescription drugs can be expected to increase their costs. These price increases will affect all, and have the effect of further decreasing access by groups not qualifying for government assistance. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
