Big Pharma’s sweet dreams


Health issue is a business – more profitable than anything else due to the health is the most critical resource in our modern and post-modern civilization. And Pharma industry successfully profits this situation. Novel approaches for treatment of different diseases are developed, sometimes efficient, sometimes not very much, but what they have in common is extremely high price! From here:

"Researchers said that proton beam facilities can cost $100 million or more to build. A round of proton beam radiation treatment costs insurers up to $100,000 per patient."

Do you have any comments?
