To add to that, the percentage spent on drugs is a bit of a meaningless number.
Let's say a magic pill was produced that completely prevented heart attacks. Drug spending would go up and all other costs would dramatically decrease (hospital stay, surgeries, etc).
Suddenly the cost of drugs is 20% and everything else is 80%. That would be a good thing, no?
