Nearly a Third of Americans Aren't Filling Their Prescriptions because of High Costs

  • A GoodRx Research survey in 2025 found that nearly 29% of Americans do not fill prescriptions due to high medication costs across the U.S.
  • This issue results from poor prescription coverage among health exchange plans, drug shortages affecting 26%, and high out-of-pocket spending by many patients.
  • Additional challenges include limited conversations about cost with healthcare professionals and increased demand and supply problems contributing to shortages of drugs like Ozempic and Adderall.
  • According to the survey, 42% of Americans discuss medication affordability with providers while 23% spend over $50 monthly, and 10% spend more than $100 on prescriptions.
  • These financial and access barriers cause unfilled prescriptions that risk worsening health outcomes and longer-term healthcare costs unless coverage improves or prices decline.
