The FDA's regulation of health economic information

Section 114 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 was intended to increase the flow of health economic information from pharmaceutical manufacturers to managed care decisionmakers. But the legislation raises a host of complex questions and has provoked diverse opinions from inside and outside the pharmaceutical industry.
