- Title
Prescription Drug Coverage: Medicine or Science?
- Authors
Herbst, Jennifer L.
- Abstract
Under what circumstances should the federal government pay for outpatient prescription drugs? Should the government (and by extension, taxpayers) pay for all of the drugs prescribed by health care providers, regardless of price or use-adhering to a medical standard? Or should taxpayers only pay for prescriptions supported by scientific evidence of effectiveness-a scientific standard?
