The accountant-types were "Cruncing the numbers" as to how many years more survival one buys for xxxx dollars worth of herceptin. First they looked at those who got one whole year of herceptin as in the HERA STUDY...then they looked at those who got 3 months of herceptin as in the FinHer study.

GOVERNMENTS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES are trying to rationalize cutting down on what they pay for.
