- refurb 7y agoThat’s true, cancer was generally unmanaged in the past. However, some control is needed. I was talking to an insurer once and he mentioned a doctor who had prescribed a drug for patient where there was no evidence it worked. When he asked the doctor why, he said “well I have to give them something”. This was a $10,000 per month drug.
