Didn't say I liked the system. If you think it cost a 1000 to make a little bag of cemo then..........but that said if by profit or goverment we pay for R&D. Drugs sold outside US depending on patents and other bs are cheaper as this is not a factor. 3rd world countries get the same drugs much cheaper as they can not afford our prices.

I sorta look at this the same way as 30% of our hosp and doctors cost are covering people with no insurance or the ability to pay. Which is the thing that gets me the most. We are paying for drugs and health care all ( or most ) now one way or the other and it is all hidden and really sucks for low income and the non work place insured. To say access to health care and drugs are not a citizens right sounds good unless your sick and lack $$$$$$$$$ then it becomes BS......fast.

Point is to zoom in on one aspect of the system rather than all the parts does not work. Our greatest medical expenses are in our last 2 or three years of our lives when we become terminally ill...........which we all will get to go through. If you want to fix the health care cost then you have go after all aspects of the system not just the bloody drug companies jabbing us but all providers of all aspects of health care from birth to when we check out..........something we as a people don't seem to want to ( or can't ) get our arms around.
