HEALTHCARE EXPERT SETH DENSON will talk about: 1 IN 10 AMERICANS SKIPPING DOSES AS PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES RISE. A group of Democratic senators this week introduced the Affordable Medications Act, legislation that aims to cut prescription drug prices. Rising costs are a big issue for patients like Maryanne Perry, who depends on a prescription inhaler for her chronic lung disease (COPD). "Climbing a flight of stairs, by the time you get up you're literally huffing and puffing and gasping for air," Perry said. Last summer, Perry lost health insurance coverage and missed a deadline to enroll in Medicare's Part D drug program. She learned her inhaler would jump from a $50 copay to a staggering $1,000 a month.
