Umfrage zur Übernahme von Kosten für personalisierte Medizin in den USA 2018

Diese Frage wurde bei der Befragung in folgendem Wortlaut gestellt: "Because personalized tests and treatments are targeted to a small number of patients, they are sometimes more expensive than conventional tests and treatments. With that in mind, read these two statements. Of the two statements, which one is closest to your own personal opinion?

• Personalized tests and treatments deliver more value to patients and may help control overall health care spending by avoiding the trial-and-error process currently used to find a treatment that works for each patient. Therefore, health insurance companies should cover these tests and treatments.
• Personalized medicine is promising, but health care costs are already high and some of these new tests and treatments are too expensive. In order to keep health care affordable, health insurance companies should not cover these personalized tests and treatments."
