My 2cents on a $100,000 treatment
I have not read all of the above posts. My insurance is luckily paying for my Herceptin. One year is approximately $100,000 USD. I go every 3 weeks. I have good insurance, but a high deductible. Last year with surgery, etc our out of pocket was about $12,000 for me. It will be about the same in 2007.
Yes, I think we should all buy pharmaceutical (sp) stocks.
