they have slightly different sets of effects is useful to the effort to find something that works right for the particular patient. A lot depends on how RW's notion would be implemented. If the government competes statins, for example since there's a lot of me-too in that arena, and get a good price on one, that could be a benefit depending on what happens with the other ones. Would Medicare, for example, allow only the winning statin? Or would it prefer the winner but still pay for any other prescribed, or only with proof that the winner won't work for that person, or only pay the winning amount for the others, or what? Lots to consider there.
