AMA News reports a Wall Street Journal analysis: Price increases by drug makers exceed inflation

 A front-page analysis in the Wall Street Journal (10/6, A1, Walker, Subscription Publication) examines the ability of pharmaceutical companies to boost their revenue by increasing drug prices beyond the rate of inflation regardless of the level of demand for the medicines.
