RE: Big Pharma, Part 3: The Business Must Go On

in #health8 years ago

Meanwhile, the patients languish in long lines and stacks of paperwork to hear that their insurance wont cover the expensive meds. We're living this nightmare. My heart breaks for people that have to go through this as their loved one is dying slowly. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. Thanks for getting the word out. Resteemed

Indeed. That's why many patients lose faith in the system and go elsewhere for treatment. As far as India and China. And guess what, even Cuba! Cuba has some of the best doctors in the world, believe it or not, and the treatments there are a fraction of what a patient can pay in the USA. An operation that would cost 100k in the USA, costs like 5k in cuba, with PREMIUM patient care. All you need is a plane ticket and the willingness to dissociate from that corrupt system. They demonized Castro for a long time, but despite the embargo, Cuba has universal healthcare and free education. Can the USA beat that?
