Good to know that the US health care system will impose these individuals with the cost. Shame on them for not properly researching the product. They should have considered their consumer choices against the possibility of cancer years later. No doubt the medical bankruptcy some will have is deserved.
Obviously sarcasm. This is, however, how the current US medical system behaves. It's impossible that these patients would have the capacity to evaluate medication sources like they would any other product. Many likely had no opportunity or choice. Yet the US supports a system that punishes an individual for aspects well beyond the individual.

- sjg007 7y agoI would get a lawyer. Sounds like you are due a nice settlement.
- coreyoconnor 7y agoIdeally yes. However, that's assuming a lot of privilege that the average consumer wouldn't have at all in this case.
