What I’ve proposed is that we have a panel of medical experts that are making determina- tions about what protocols are appropriate for what diseases. There’s going to be some disagreement, but if there’s broad agreement that, in this situation the blue pill works better than the red pill, and it turns out the blue pills are half as expensive as the red pill, then we want to make sure that doctors and patients have that information available to them. President Barack Obama, 2009* *Interview with ABC News’ Dr. Timothy Johnson, July 15, 2009.
