I'm pretty sure people dying of cancer suddenly stop caring about philosophical questions about resource allocation. This is an unequivocally good thing - like that other expensive miracle drug, Harvoni.
> Harvoni is used to treat hepatitis C genotypes 1, 4, 5, or 6. This medicine is for use in adults and children who are at least 12 years old or who weigh at least 77 pounds (35 kilograms).
It's a fucking miracle.
