Prometheus 6

So I'm on this mailing list that's basically about monitizing "new media" intellectual property. I basically lurk, even through the rare socio-political discussions. I'm too concerned about potential a police state to usefully discuss how to make the best of it.

Anyway, a discussion kicks off about "Joe Biden's Tech/Music IP Record" which frankly was not going that well for Joe at first but the thread fractured all to hell, and I sorta poked it at random and hit a post made in response to this statement

All the places I know where everyone gets the same health care has poor health care. Just got back from UK where people are dying every day simply they don't approve the expensive cancer drugs because they're well, expensive. It is a very big issue over there - at least from what I read.

I wanted to share the response with you because it makes several points best made by a witness. That the uninsured are charged more for drugs than the insured amazes me. This man is what you call affluent, fully insured and is still spending $20k for his wife's treatment this year.

His name is redacted, but this is an actual human being speaking, no spin or speculation.
