I know how it works, my mom spent years in it actually. I work in insurance billing for a cancer center and we get denial after denial for FDA approved drugs that are out of clinical trials(Abraxane, Taxotere, Procrit, Herceptin) because they're IV drugs, they're too experimental, they're 2nd and 3rd tier drugs. We do find ways to get these drugs for our patients but the red tape with the insurance companies is completely aggravating.
You're right, it's not up to America to support. The drug companies will happily sell and market it all day long. I never said the FDA won't approve it, I never said it won't be marketed, I just know it will take a long time to go over like it should here.
It will get used because companies will have patient assistance programs(which overall are AMAZING) charities will support the progress and potential, foundations will go out of their way to help those who turn to them.
I'm sure if this continues well the FDA will be all over this. I'd love it if this worked out.
