You're right. They are suspect.

I originally got the numbers from Wolfie's post which stated "This currently benefits about 1300 addicts ... cost is covered by Swiss health insurance to the tune of SwF11­14·5 million (US$8­10·5 million) per year."

This works out to my figure of $625,000.

But, it did sound high, so I looked up the original article which states, "The cost is covered by Swiss health insurance to the tune of SwF11-14.5 million (US$8-10.5 million) per year".

So, TO ALL, the average cost per addict per year should be $7,000. Slightly lower.

That would put US heroin treatment at $6-7 billion per year.

sounds reasonable, if we were to follow this guys script

I have a hard time believing that we would offer to pay, everything for addicts

However that being said if everything were legalized the price would not be as high as it is today due to the WOD
keeping prices high, because they are illegal

Slightly lower.

:-D. Thanks for the correction.

That would put US heroin treatment at $6-7 billion per year.

I'm still against it.
