ACA will ensure we never find out that answer. Who wants to fork over the R&D money for a new drug that will never be covered?
It may be covered, but they’ll limit the price, and cause the company to make very little money.
What folks don’t understand (and I forget the exact numbers myself) is that for every drug that comes to market, 100 plus drugs are studied, produced, go into trials, then fail.
Who will continue to pursue those 100 drugs, so that one can be found? Who will take the loss on those 100 failures, if the margin on the one winner is diced back to just above zero?
Governments? The surest way to ruin life as we know it.
