I live in France, where all chronic diseases are treated for free - and well. I have prostate cancer that's spread to my bones. Just the taxi the state provided for my trip to the oncology unit for radiotherapy cost the state 4000 euros. My current pills cost the state 3000 euros per month and my six monthly hormone injection 500 euros every six months. Obviously my chemotherapy cost me nothing.
I find it disgusting that the richest country in the world cannot provide free medical care to its citizens.
It's strange. We have the benefit of being a young country that can learn and change without centuries of precedent and yet we do not. Even for those who qualify for government subsidized insurance, the process is confusing and difficult.

I'm thankful you can get the drugs you need.
