The rate of propagation of new treatments is an issue, certainly. However, it is something that a good primary care physician is able to (or rather, should) look-up in an instant if the first line treatment isn't effective. There are no secret treatments being withheld from anyone. Any really cutting-edge research is also of uncertain benefit, simply because it hasn't been tested often enough.
