Comparative Effectiveness EuroStyle

The comparative effectiveness hurdle is firmly in place throughout Europe and it is all focusing on new drugs. And it is all one size fits all evaluations of whether or not there is improvement in actual benefit for drugs and benefit can be a matter of debate and deviation...and that is only the first part of the CE analysis. Then you have to demonstrate whether or not it is cost-effective

I find it interesting that health plans here that fought national health care have no problem importing the operating system of government medicine. The average time for a coverage decision is a year. Would health plans wait a year to get their premiums?
