The Libyan terrorist has survived almost three years after a doctor said he had only months to live and he was released on “compassionate” grounds from a Scottish prison.

Al Megrahi, 60, is believed to be taking cabazitaxel to combat his prostate cancer.

But the drugs funding watchdog has decided against allowing its use on the NHS as it claimed the drug only extends life by three months and at £22,000 is too expensive.

The drugs are the only medicines licensed in Britain that are proven to give advanced prostate patients more time.

Anyone care to bet even under Obummer care Warren Buffett will be able to gulp all the prostate cancer drugs he wants?? Yeah my guess is these people will continue to be pains in people’s butts long after the cancer is controlled.

the real question is why is that drug...perhaps just a few pills or an ounce or so of a liquid worth $25,000 dollars??? I understand R and D and all that, but the total value of the ingredients in that dosage cannot be more than a few dollars.
