One of the patients suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis, a serious autoimmune disorder, she was told it would take 6 months to see a rheumatologist Again: rheumatoid arthritis does not kill you. many times newer treatments such as cancer drugs are not available Good that you say that. In many countries to gain approval the manufacturer needs to show a benefit over what is already on the market. Whatever was there was new, but it didn't prolong survival or improve quality of life. Why should the public pay for something very expensive (because it's still under patent) when something equally good is available for much less as a generic?
