摘要
Instead of the fixed discounts that characterize most prescription drug coverage proposals, we should craft a plan that scales the discount in direct proportion to each drug's proven therapeutic benefit. Evidence-based discounting would thereby encourage pharmaceutical companies to develop more beneficial drugs, would induce doctors to prescribe them, and would make it easier for patients to afford them.
