解题原则分析：
求同存异123原则：文章的相邻段落之间存在着联系又同时存在差别。段落之间的联系体现为二者之间共享同一主题词；段落之间的差别体现为后面的段落比前面段落要多出一些内容，而且这些多出的内容恰恰体现了“启下”的关系。因此，利用段落之间的差额主题名词，即“相同表联系，相异引下文”的原则，便可以确定下一段落的主题词。
解题步骤分析：

第三段：According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, prescription drug costs have risen since 1997 at twice the rate of overall health-care spending.
