Proving the FYGM paradigm.This is why we should get rid of Medicare.
I can see his family putting him on an iceberg and letting him float out to sea.LOL, you are funny.
Agree with it.
Alzheimer's is a devastating disease with no cure. If this has a chance to save someone, why shouldn't it be allowed?
The company must continue to collect data, of it's truly ineffective, then the decision can get reviewed.
Seems like an odd line to suddenly get religion on govt spending.
We should get rid of Medicare? Please lay out a coherent argument for this. You are no moderate democrat. Anybody who is against Medicare is a right wing toolThis is why we should get rid of Medicare.
I thought the drug test showed positive results that were first deemed inclusive and later sufficient to proceed. This fits in nicely with the fact that the danger of the covid pandemic, the urgency of the situation, required the FDA to relax its normal cautions.countries like Canada can't afford our latest in innovations - and people are often left to fly to the US and pay out of pocket for our innovations...
In yet... you want to continue massive spending on drugs that didn't show results in studies - and somehow imply that universal healthcare is possible with these kinds of antics and ridiculous pricings?

What do you do with the healthcare of tens of millions of old people now, and what do younger people do now when they get older?Because it costs too much and is going to take a lot more money in the near future. Millennials shouldn't give more of their hard earned money to boomers.

There is nothing here to indicate a lack of sympathy for Alzeimer's patients on the part of those opposed to approving a drug with no known benefit to Alzheimer's patients.Looks like the FDA admin is in the thankless position of trying to mediate between two competing conditions, those who have sympathies for those with Alzheimer's and those with concerns about taxes and possible government and corporate corruption. Whatever the FDA decides it will make some happy and some not happy at all. In any case the decision will be the decision.

Yep, especially since painful brain swelling is a side effect and it costs $56000 per year, while we have people in America deciding between paying rent and affording insulin. Patients wanted snake oil too, and radium pills, that's why it was an industry. But just because desperate patients want to try something, anything, that's not a reason for FDA to approve it.There is nothing here to indicate a lack of sympathy for Alzeimer's patients on the part of those opposed to approving a drug with no known benefit to Alzheimer's patients.
Arent most medicare drug plans supplemental plans by a private insurer? Wonder if there will be a push back from them.But it's not up to me. Since FDA approved it, now my Medicare taxes will go to pay for it, whether I mind it or not. I am fine with people paying for it or raising money from private charity, but Medicare should not be paying for something with such weak evidence of efficacy.
Are we (the UK) like Canada? Because we are using it here for patients without charging them anything above prescription charges (about £10 a box).countries like Canada can't afford our latest in innovations - and people are often left to fly to the US and pay out of pocket for our innovations...

Maybe the evil liberals should just pay you 50k to quit posting on this forum. Would probably be the most efficient use of 50k for mental health that the government has ever spent.Yes, but if just one $50,000 placebo helped 1 person slightly with their mood for the day... wouldn't... you want to help them?
To have a preponderance of sympathy for one sympathy over another means only that. It does not mean all sympathy for one and none for the other.There is nothing here to indicate a lack of sympathy for Alzeimer's patients on the part of those opposed to approving a drug with no known benefit to Alzheimer's patients.

Honestly getting rid of Medicare is a far right wing fascists dream
Old people died younger, in poverty and pain. Sounds like a moderate Democrat's plan to me.What did we do before 1964? Do that.
Very few politicians are going to actually speak out against Medicare, it's one of the most popular government programs ever.lmao, Fascists are fine with big government programs like Medicare. Josh Hawley supports it. What did we do before 1964? Do that.
