Den farmasøytiske Fordeler Scheme (PBS) bruker rundt 14 prosent av totale offentlige utgifter for samfunnet og har vokst betydelig i både utvalg av narkotika dekket, og utgifter siden det først ble introdusert i 1950. Tilhengere av narkotika prisregulering hevder at narkotika beslutningstakere heve prisene til nytte verdien av sine aksjer og investere litt av overskuddet i utvikling og forskning av nye legemidler. Motstanderne av reguleringen hevder at forbrukerne stole på legemiddelfirmaer til å utvikle nye medisiner og begrensende prisene vil hindre nye livreddende medisiner blir utviklet.
