Re: cancer drug turned down by NHS for cost

NICE is not an insurance company.

It is a committee set up by the government in the UK to do cost/benefit analyses and vote/recommend for/against adoption of new and usually expensive drugs.

There is lots of blame to go around--governments (where there is government provided/funded healthcare), insurance companies, drug companies...
