I don't know the medicine behind it. It was expensive, very expensive. But you know what?, it should be. How many top notch researchers spent how many hours developing it? And who else besides the people who benefit should pay for it? The other thing that the media talks about how millions of Americans do not have health care. This is a lie. The doctors knew that mys sister's family would never be able to pay the full amount, but they provided the care anyways. Not having health care is not the same as not having free health care.

Can you tell us more about the drugs that saved her life? Liberals never acknowledge that there are second-order effects to keeping prices artificially low, and it always annoys me. this brought home the human cost of that ignorance. What a great story.

You are so on the money about how this health insurance "reform" will shut down innovation and research here in America. And I’m so glad for your family that it had a good outcome.
