Abstract
The Institute of Medicine says that health benefit packages should be limited by cost, not services, but doesn't address the coverage of biologics. Employers, meanwhile, are thinking about limiting access to high-priced drugs. Yet, industry reports say that biologics are set to dominate drug spend by 2015. Are we moving toward healthcare rationing?
