| No Comments

With our distored medical marketplace the FDA does not force a drug off the market, even it is not as effective as other drugs, or even ineffective. The hope is that no-one will pay for it. With the news that ZETIA may not reduce risk of heart disease will the various third party payers refuse to reimburse for its use? What about all the other me-too drugs? There is no agency, even AHRQ, that reviews effectiveness of drugs and recommends not reimbursing for their use.
