Donated $50. I realize we're trying not to rant about the healthcare system too much, so all I will say is that this is exactly why the system is a problem. What's the point of all our technology and "progress" if we still don't provide reasonable care to all?
- sseveran 14y agoHow do you define reasonable?
- jfb 14y agoHow about surgery to deal with a metastasizing cancer that is highly efficacious? That seems very reasonable to me.

- glesica 14y agoThe other two comments (at this moment) summed it up pretty well. The treatment has a high rate of success (80%) and is in no way "experimental". If something has become a part of the standard medical "toolbox", providing it to everyone is reasonable. There is simply no excuse for our current system, especially when other countries provide care and spend less to do it.
