Several drug manufacturers will sell certain prescription medicines directly to American patients and discount other high-priced drugs. According to Reuters, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk and other drugmakers have agreed to discount certain drugs for taxpayer-funded Medicaid plans and sell other drugs directly through their websites for cash-paying customers, bypassing pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers. U.S. patients currently face the highest prescription drug prices in the world.
