“The ongoing US recession is affecting consumers’ behavior in the healthcare market. The rising unemployment rate means that fewer individuals are covered under generous employer sponsored health insurance plans. Many people who lose their jobs also lose their ability to cover the costs of healthcare, including prescription drugs. Being un-or under-insured drives consumers to seek out ways to save money on medical costs, or in some cases to skip medical care entirely.
Some individuals qualify for state-subsidized programs such as Medicaid; however membership in these programs also impacts consumers’ healthcare decisions by encouraging the use of cheaper generic drugs rather than brand name options.
The goal of the Adherence to Drug Treatments in Today’s Economy report is to provide an executive-level overview of how economic factors affect patients’ compliance with prescribed medication.
