AnomieBOT merger proposal

Profit maximization should not be merged with Cost-minimization analysis (CMA). CMA is an entirely distinct methodology that need not have anything to do with profit. For example, a health care provider (such as the government) may use a cost-minimization analysis in the case where two interventions have equivalent health impacts (e.g. biosimilars) but different costs, with no reference to profits.

Oops, you are right. I made the proposal because I was going through some articles with page issues and I thought CMA was referring to a Duality (optimization) of this article, but now I see the difference. I'm removing the templates. Thanks, Smmurphy^(Talk) 23:33, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
