Pick a drug and follow the trend in its price. There's a good chance the price went up in recent years, up by a lot for a big brand-name drug.
Drug companies offer a variety of reasons for the increases, and the state of Oregon wants those reasons put out in plain sight. So the state just opened a Prescription Drug Price Transparency Program to track how much drugs increase in price, and why.
It even offers consumers a chance to report increases. A rep from the Department of Consumer and Business Services visits with more information.
