Jena and Philipson argue that further use of cost-effectiveness thresholds to curb health care spending may do more harm than good. Governments should adopt a more inclusive way of costeffectiveness, one that reflects not only the short term costs to patients but also the long-term effect on medical innovation. Policy makers should provide sufficient incentives for companies to develop new health technologies - or risk a dangerous shortage of life-saving drugs in the future.
