More Obamacare fuckups

[Wrathbringer]

Yeah, no. Without debating your specific hypothetical (which has a hole so large in it I could drive a truck through), cost-effectiveness doesn't mean that. It does mean that if a pharmaceutical company develops a new treatment that is no more effective than current treatments but costs five times more, it probably shouldn't be covered.

This probably wouldn't be an issue if pharmaceutical companies weren't allowed to do consumer marketing like previously, but since they are, it's now important to do so.

Please, debate the specific hypothetical with said hole so large.

Edit: I think it's just difficult to believe "there will be no death panels" from the same guy that said "if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it," when it's obvious that "cost effectiveness/death panels" must have a critical role in order to prop up this farce financially for as long as possible.
