How is big pharma increasing hospital costs? please take a look at this, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2669633/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2669633/ "The major empirical finding from this research is that medication use by Medicare beneficiaries is significantly negatively associated with hospital spending.
