hmm. The first one is a patient support site, but it looks realistic. I guess if you are lucky enough to have good coverage, that drug may be covered. The second site is a bit out of date and -- I dunno. It might be accurate, or not. We're still in the land though of improved outcomes for specific conditions. I actually agree with you there. I have already said that I believe I would be dead if I had been living in Canada.
But how about a child with Ashley's condition dying for lack of medical care in Britain? It may be cold-hearted -- most economic decisions are -- but most socialized medicine rations care, and it's fundamentally a matter of how much it costs to give a certain patient how much more time. In other words, a child is less likely to be denied coverage than a grandmother who would be in pain anyway if her life were prolonged another three months. I don't like the Canadian system but it does not produce Ashleys.
