> how much is getting cured of cancer at a very young age worth? dying vs. living another 80-90 years?

A tough question, made tougher by the side effects of doing so. $500k per infusion pays for quite a few mostly-healthy low-income uninsured kids to get basic pediatric care. The US healthcare system is already priced too high for a lot of people - I pay $2,002.25/month for my family.

> should Apple be the most profitable company - or someone that literally cures cancer?

Should healthcare really be a for-profit endeavour?
