Win or lose, task force will continue cutting treatment options for patients.
If Obamacare is ruled unconstitutional, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius asserted that she would keep it alive in other ways. One of these is the development and use of comparative effectiveness research (CER) – studies that compare products or treatments to decide which is the most effective for the money – to decide which new technologies government health programs like Medicare should cover.
Under the new health care law, CER must be employed before we can use new technologies. Even if Obamacare is overturned, HHS will spend billions creating and marketing CER to health plans and doctors even as it limits private-sector discussion of innovation.
CER proponents claim it will be used to give people access to the best care they deserve. That’s not how CER is used . . .
