Watch Now: How to Save Lives with Free to Choose Medicine and TEDD

About Free to Choose Medicine

The Free to Choose Medicine plan would empower patients, advised by their doctors, to make informed decisions about whether to use approved drugs or new drugs in late stage clinical testing.

Remember that the purchase and use of prescription medication should always be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Additionally, be cautious when buying viagra without prescription at Coastal Health, as there are absolutely legal and safe.

It would save lives and end needless suffering by creating a Free To Choose Track around the FDA for patients and their doctors to access new drugs years before they complete FDA trials

Market-Based Solution... Fundamentally Bipartisan

“Madden’s market-based solution appeals to economists like me who are keenly aware of the critical importance of institutional design for a system to promote decentralized responses close to the local knowledge that is available to physicians and their patients, but not to the FDA. This book is fundamentally bipartisan and should be read in that spirit.”

Why Free to Choose Medicine?

Adopting the Free to Choose Medicine plan would result in…

Less Pain

People are suffering and dying because they are denied timely access to new drugs stuck in the FDA new drug approval pipeline.

Lower Costs

Lower health care costs, as new drugs come to market faster and at lower prices.

Productive Lives

Healthier, longer, more productive lives for ourselves and our families.

Better Drugs

The purpose of the drugs-to-patients system should be to deliver better drugs, sooner, at lower cost, not to chase after the impossible goal of zero risk.

How FTCM Would Work

The Free to Choose Medicine plan does not eliminate the role of the FDA in the drug approval process. A drug company can opt to remain within the current approval process for any of its drugs. FTCM sets up a competing system that would allow manufacturers to market new drugs after completion of the FDA’s Phase I testing and at least one round of Phase II testing,  contingent upon certification of a FTCM Committee that the drug successfully completed that testing. The drug could then be made available to patients and, based on the real-world, observational  data collected from patient usage, the company could seek Observational Approval from the FDA to market the drug to the general public. The FTCM system of patients use, usage monitoring and reporting and FDA observational approval, would bring drugs to market faster, at reduced prices and encourage expansion of companies seeking to develop, test and market new drugs.

What makes this different

The U.S. drugs-to-patients system fails to achieve its overall system goal of better drugs, sooner, at lower cost.

Clinical Testing

The key constraint that impedes achieving this goal is the FDA’s enormously expensive and time consuming clinical testing process.

Empower Patients

Free to Choose Medicine would empower patients, advised by their doctors, to make informed decisions about whether to use approved drugs or new drugs in late stage clinical testing.
