At first glance this is surprising since most cancer patients are seniors but there is a critical piece missing in this story. Two years ago when my father was going through chemotherapy his doctor discussed the possbility of him joining a clinical trial. The catch? The doctor estimated that it would cost $25,000 - $30,000 to take part in the trial. Insurance would not cover the expense, it would be cash only. Most seniors are living on fixed incomes so just what the hell do these idiots expect when they ask for that kind of money, in cash? Is there no end to the money grab by Big Pharmaceuticals?
