But thats just your opinion man.. not a single fact in all that gibberish. Until everyone has a will to live their best life, take care of themselves and you create a utopian society, the most cutting edge, life-saving drugs will be expensive and not an entitlement.

You should do some research on medical billing and R&D costs in pharmaceutical development; those are two totally different things.

I would say it is a fact that medical billing has little relationship to actual costs of care. You should do some research on it.

It's also a fact that the real cutting-edge R&D is invariably funded by taxpayers, while pharmaceutical companies spend their budgets creating patentable variants, often cherry-picking studies to show marginal improvements over existing drugs. You should do some research on that, too.
