“In no instance can it be justified to spend $100,000 in public resources to increase an individual’s expected survival by three months”

Sorry, if I am being forced to pay for “insurance” you better prolong my life.

It’s not insurance, it’s a tax. IMO, an unconstitutional tax, Justice Roberts’ opinion nonwithstanding.

The real question should be why the treatment costs $100,000.00 in the first place.

The same drug is probably available in Mexico for $30.00.
