Hospital spending is much higher
than prescription drug spending.
Yet patients pay more out-of-pocket
for medicines than for hospital care.

prescription drug spending within hospitals and nearly all provider-administered outpatient drugs. Figures in billions.

Hospitals Account for 1/3 of All U.S. Health Care Spending and
Contribute to Patient Out-of-pocket Costs by Marking Up Medicines
An analysis found that 320
hospitals mark up some
medicine prices at least 1000%
Nearly one in five hospitals marks
up medicine prices to 700% or
more of their acquisition cost
If a hospital purchased a medicine
for $150, a 700% markup could
result in patients being billed
$1,050 for that medicine
