Abolish the FDA and costs would plummet.

“The cancer community needs to take responsibility and not accept a sub-standard evidence base and an ethos of very small benefit at whatever cost,” said a report commissioned by the Lancet Oncology medical journal on the costs of cancer care. “
Just preparing the narrative for death panels.

Just think how much better it’s going to be when healthcare is free! I mean, we’re going to be literally ROLLING in advanced, newly discovered procedures and medicines once Big Pharma and the Medical Community have to give away their products.

Of course their lives are so precious that there would undoubtedly be unlimited medical interventions for them and their families.

ensure fairer access News for Reuters: life isn't fair. Fairness is not a property of life and death. Doctors can keep many people technically alive until their money runs out, but then the plug gets pulled. Rich people on average live longer. If this causes intense feelings of envy, try not to stay a poor news propaganda writer.

Unaffordable to WHO?
Is it unaffordable to the nation developing and making the therapeutics?
Is it unaffordable to the Dr’s and nurses administering the care?
Is it unaffordable to the patient - usually elderly - the wealthiest group of Americans?
Or is it only unaffordable to the poor and the government who has to pay for it, but doesn’t want to because they value money not people?
