The Price of Life
On a finite budget, the NHS cannot afford to offer every treatment on the market, so how is it decided which medications should be made available?
Adam Wishart follows the nail-biting decision about one drug, with unprecedented access to decision-makers the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, the patients who need a life-extending treatment, and the American company that discovered and will profit from it.
Released in 2009. 60 min. Director: Adam Wishart. TV documentary.
How sad, fighting for extension of life when there is a drug being used today that is curing cancer without side effects. I’m talking about antineoplastens.
You get sick.
You die.
Thats the way its always been for the majority of people and buying in to any system or pension or insurance company or whatever you like will make no difference .
