$280 in China, $8,892 in the US: new Chinese cancer drug approved by FDA

US is so rich that it voluntarily subsidized pharma R&D for the rest of the world. Not a new thing.

I have serious medical problems, as does everyone in my family. (I've assembled a synthetic family of people with similar medical issues.)

We do not want government-subsidized health insurance. We want the ability to buy our medical care in the free market.

We want one law: If anything is available from any of the top 20 medical companies on this planet, then everyone has the right to import, purchase, own, possess, use, and redistribute it.

Let us purchase Novopen 6 insulin pens, which are common in Europe, but are not sold in the USA. They report insulin dosages to a phone using Bluetooth. My wife has aphasia and physical disabilities after strokes. She can not write down when she takes her insulin, or how much she takes. If her phone could record that, it would be a huge help, but the US drug cops stop us from getting these devices. We can spend $200 on a Novopen Echo, but that does not report to her phone; it only records the last dose of up to 30 units of insulin. It does not tell us if she took 30, 60, 90, 120, or more units of insulin. (She commonly takes 120 units with a meal.)

Note: still cheaper than similar drugs in the US.

Ah, gotta love capitalism. Putting obscene profits before people since ... well, a long time ago.

that's the price of capitalism
