Important health debate from The Economist [link].
"This house believes that the widespread use of comparative effectiveness reviews and cost/benefit analyses will stifle medical innovation and lead to an unacceptable rationing of health care."
Defending the motion - Newt Gingrich
Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and Founder, Center for Health Transformation
Against the motion - Sir Michael Rawlins
Chairman, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)
My vote is for Sir Michael Rawlins.
