The Cost of Medicine

All over the country,  people of the United States are feeling the crunch of the economy. It doesn't matter who you are, or where you're from. The recession is still afftecting everyone. Health care is especially difficult for people. Cancer treatment is expensive as it is, and with the amount of jobs lost, cancer patients are suffering to put food on the table for thier families while going through countless amount of procedures and therapies trying to desinagrate this life taking disease. In my opinion, people who can't afford thier medication should still be able to recieve it. Think about your sick grandma, would you want her to not be able to take her medication just because she can't afford it? If my insurance denied me of a drug that i needed, I would see if i could raise enough money to afford it. But if it was a medicine I only needed to take once, I would send in a request to see if they would pay for it.
