RE: Iron Overload In Beta-Thalassemia Patient

in #steemstem6 years ago

I agree with you. Now let me tell you something regarding the universal healthcare. In my country there are patients that receive state-funded medication that is over 1000-3000$ per month. Some of them (because are very poor) are selling the medications instead of taking them and choose to live with the pain, discomfort and with their life in danger so they could benefit from the resale of the medication, usually 10 or 20 times lower than the market price. State loses, people lose, black market sharks win. It's not that widespread but it's happening.

I am still 100% for Universal Healthcare. Just exposing the other side of the problem.

It is wrong, but I think I can understand why they were doing that. Sometimes it is difficult to fathom why certain things happen until we are all in the same boat as them.
