Cost assurance


How much do experimental drugs cost? Does insurance cover it? Does allowing patients to take experimental drugs open the manufacturers up to potential liability issues when things go wrong?

Oh the headaches! Here, let's just everyone stay on the wheel where the doctor can prescribe the expensive treatments and they'll bill the insurance who pays whatever the manufacturer asks for and distributes the cost widely over the entire insured pool. Nice, easy, predicitible, and oh so profitable.
