“National health care systems are incentivized to find ways to reduce future healthcare costs.”
You would think so but that is NOT the case. There is a “prescription drug” budget and there is a “inpatient hospital care” budget”. Each has someone whose job/career depends solely on coming in under budget each quarter. If the hospital services budget can save 50M in 5 years by spending 5M more this year on prescriptions the individual managing the prescription budget says “no way, I haven’t got 5M to spare and saving 50M in 5 years for another department does ME no good at all”. He may also point out that a fatal MI saves $ for both of their budgets as well as the seniors pension budget and many other budgets. Once a person stops earning income and paying taxes just about every budget benefits from the pts death.

The ONLY obstacle to reimbursement in all these countries is MONEY. Nobody, except you, needs another study. Delaying reimbursement saves money for the prescription drug budget.

It’s ALWAYS about the money
