How Inflation is Impacting Prescription Costs in 2025

You don't need a spreadsheet to tell you that everything is more expensive. You feel it at the gas pump and the grocery store. But while egg prices might eventually come down, prescription drug prices have a "ratchet effect"—they only go up.

In 2025, we are seeing drug manufacturers raise prices at twice the rate of general inflation. It is a quiet theft of your health.

The "New Year" Price Hike

Every January, Big Pharma rolls out their new price lists. This year, we saw increases on over 700 brand-name medications. Why? Because they can. Most of these drugs have no competition, so they raise the price to meet their quarterly earnings targets. They know you can't just "stop" taking your heart medicine.

The Shrinking Power of Your Insurance

As drug prices go up, insurance companies respond by raising your deductibles and narrowing their "formularies" (the list of drugs they actually cover). You end up paying more for the premium and more at the pharmacy window. You are being squeezed from both ends of the system.

Inflation-Proof Your Health

You need a price that doesn't change when the economy gets weird. That is the beauty of advocacy. When you join Healthy Hope, your cost is $40 a month. It doesn't matter if the drug manufacturer raises the retail price from $900 to $1,100—your membership fee stays the same.

We provide a buffer against the corporate greed of the industry. Let the CEOs worry about inflation; you just worry about getting better.
