Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of public disagreement on negative reimbursement decisions for new health technologies in publicly financed healthcare systems, particularly when individual patients are depicted in the media.
- By conducting a discrete choice experiment with a representative sample in the Netherlands, researchers found that presenting a patient’s image increased public disagreement with reimbursement denials.
- Results showed that disagreement was also influenced by factors such as the patient's age, health-related quality of life, life expectancy before treatment, and potential gains from treatment.
