I feel like my experience with the system was really great. I suppose it might be quite different than others' because I was mostly in clinical trials and so the costs of my treatment and the administration of it were all taken care of by the pharmaceutical companies. The stories I'm hearing now about people being denied treatment because of the cost are quite frightening to me. If I'd have had to pay for my own treatments, well, I just wouldn't have been able to have them, plain and simple.
