Surely the problem is the insurance industry? If the insurance industry wasn't able to foot the bill, no one would buy the product and market forces would be able to set a reasonable (affordable) price. As a non-US citizen (I'm from the UK) I can't believe that such an obscene set of symbiotic relationships have been able to be formed between the medical establishment, medical insurance industry and pharmaceutics. There are some things that benefit all - and some issues that every human holds close to their heart. Medicine and the ability to recover from ill health is too important to let companies hold individuals to ransom. I'm shocked the situation was ever allowed to get this bad.
