Stimulus Plan • Comparative Effectiveness
What Will the Future Hold?
"It's alarming to think that comparative effectiveness could be used to determine that if a procedure or drug is too expensive, it won't be prescribed. [Lawmakers] have said it won't be used to dictate to patients or their doctors the treatments they can have, but this could be the first step toward that."
-Bob Moffit, PhD, Director of the Center for Health Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC
