It's still the wrong question to ask.

We should ask what are the outcomes that these systems produce, not how new the drugs are.

A cutting-edge healthcare system plagued by inequality and extreme costs can produce worse results than a more efficient healthcare system which is not as high-tech.

Well all the diabetics in this discussion are claiming they can’t do without the latest generation insulin.

But yes, I agree. Sometimes the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.
