If memory serves, medication covered by insurance in New Zealand is listed in a schedule to the law. I would like to hear about the process through which people determine which medications are in that schedule of covered medications, and I'd like to know how much that list can vary over time. You said that there was fierce competition among the companies. Certain medications are interchangeable and have the same effect, but are marketed under different names.
Also, over time, how can you adjust your list of covered medications and provide the best medication that is on the market?
