I think Bill is right, and it probably has more to do with them cutting a deal with Teva and Biogen. My friend in the US VA had to go on Betaseron first, apparently for the same reason.
They give you a choice of one type of interferon (out of the three options), or Copaxone, . . . so I suppose they reckon you aren't really being "limited". Betaseron is a different type of interferon, but Avonex and Rebif are exactly the same drug anyway; it's just the dosage that is different.
