I completely agree that a med that can do so much would be totally worth spending a lot of $$ on, I just have a hard time thinking about the group of people who's insurance won't pay or the people who are unable to come up with the $$ even for their copay. Bad things happen to good people. For example, they get sick, so they can't work, so they lose their job and insurance, thus no med coverage, can't afford meds, get sicker, need more treatment, and the cycle goes on. Of course, depending where you live, there are different government programs to get coverage, but it takes a while to learn about them, get signed up and activated, etc. And even then, there is a lot that's not covered or available to a person.
I'm sorry to be such a downer, I am very thankful for all the research that goes on and new treatments that are discovered, and I realize that costs a lot of money. Guess I am just sensitive to this because I know a lot of people on disability and people trying to get disability for medical reasons, and it's difficult during that process to get the medical care that a person needs. I don't have an answer.
It's called single payer/universal health care.
