Abstract
Warren Buffett's aphorism neatly captures the ambition underlying proposals which have been put forward for reform of regulation of pharmaceutical pricing in the UK's National Health Service. Through a critical evaluation of the envisioned system of 'value-based pricing', this article explores differing understandings of the value which a new medicine delivers to patients and society. It further considers the possible consequences for regulatory legitimacy of the adoption of the more pluralistic approach to value which the proposals embody.
