Excellent point: why should your insurance have to cover every FDA-approved drug, and regardless of cost?
My guess is your insurance doesn’t cover every approved treatment. But if it does, is that a problem with the FDA (which regulates drugs), or with your insurance policy (which decides how to pay for them)? I’d suggest your complaints about insurance costs are more closely tied to the latter.

If only there was some group of experts that decided that some drugs were safe and effective vs. not. We could even make it a nonprofit group to avoid conflicts. Heck, we could get the federal government to fund and and even pass a law that gave their recommendations teeth.
- dantheman 5y agoJust remember the FDA denies people who are dying the ability to choose their treatment.
- HWR_14 5y agoNo, the FDA doesn't deny people who are dying the ability to choose their treatment. What nonsense is this? There used to be requirements to document the treatment, but even that went away. Or do you mean in the cases where there are already treatments? Because, yes, then take medicine not Dr. Mike's Magic Tonic.
