Very interesting Gregory.  Thanks

Yes, I found it interesting from several stand points.

One point of interest:  The $500,000 cost of one treatment that the SDA physician scientist seemingly is able to lower in cost.

The advances in genetic testing of cancers and genetic screening for medical conditions, is quite amazing.  New therapies coming on the market frequently.  If we go to a socialist - government controlled - bottom dollar system, it will certainly curtail new discoveries.   Drug companies won't put money into research and development, if they can't make a profit. (But maybe they will sell to the wealthy.)  And the government won't put much money into life-extending drugs.  That just means more people to provide healthcare for.

You mean a "Dictatorship Socialist Government?"

And who will that benefit? Not those that can't afford it! That's what's going on right now!!!!!

So I guess according to that statement only those that can afford to pay for healthcare are worthy for healthcare?? I'm not trying to be critical, but it just seems that way to me.
