Perhaps a better question to ask is what might Dendreon have been worth if the FDA had been behind advancing the first immune therapy for cancer instead of against it...?...A treatment I might ad eventually will save the government, tax payers and patients money and quality of life and length of life.

<<In other words, this is a decision that hurts everyone's pocketbook – not just those of Amylin's shareholders.

We've talked before about Joseph Tainter and his study of the downfall of civilizations in the past.

As the business of healthcare becomes bogged down by ineffective and expensive layers of bureaucracy, to the point that they exceed the benefits of finding new treatments, the whole system runs the danger of collapsing.>>
