I am an Electronic Engineer; I have traveled to many countries around the World, initially with my parents then with the Royal Air Force for 22 years finally with the UN. Although I was born in England I now reside in Bosnia I came here in 1992 it was very noisy then. After a brief trip to Macedonia then Sierra Leone I decided to settle down here. I have quite a few different qualifications mostly in Math’s an Engineering which sounds boring but I'm told I have a weird but good sense of humor. This Q/A system is a good way to relax.
Why are Cancer Medicines so expensive, when they are subsidized by non profit Charities?
People all over the World put money into these Charities, hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Then when one of the products are needed they cost thoasands of dollars per treatment. I understand about costs for research etc but if the money was public in the first place why are the public having to pay twice.
For one person in Britain recently the cure he requires costs 55,000pounds per treatment. The welfare system refused to pay.
