Valuing Healthcare Innovation

When measuring the value of new medicines, some countries rely on an outdated and incomplete methodology that understates the true value of innovative treatments. Setting prices in the U.S. based on these artificially low estimates of value would reduce investment in biomedical R&D and yield fewer novel medicines that address critical unmet needs of patients.

Public Comment: End Unfair Trade Practices in Drug Pricing
