Not a single one of them has stated how much the drug company spent developing this drug, along with all the ones that failed, along with all the years of testing and the FDA approval process.
Go figure!
If anything goes wrong with one in a million patients who took the drug, these Progressives are going demand the company be sued into oblivion.
Progressives, why do you think it is that so many more new drugs, procedures and technology are developed here in the United States than anywhere else in the World?
Sure R&D and other costs are associated with the development of drugs. That still does not justify every patient on Avastin to pay $32K for a single injection or IV therapy use. Specially when we know that said drug is not a cure for cancer and according to statistics only prolongs life for 4.7 months average.
I never mentioned R&D for that very reason. A 4.7 month life extending drug at 32K per dose. Ludicrous!
