I am quite shocked that a lot of hospitals can refuse treatment for breast cancer using the drug Herceptin. I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the story currently on the news about the woman who has been denied this new drug to help with her battle against breast cancer, link below:

Is this what it's going to be like when an 'actual' cure for cancer is found or created, that only a select few will be able to use it? The government should be getting behind this drug and helping more with production. What do you guys and gals think? I think it's unacceptable as they are putting prices on peoples lives. :(
