Before you decide to blast me, see my post above this.
Children's Hospital, where Kyler receives much of his care, proceeded with two rounds of MIBG therapy for Kyler - at a cost of $110,000 - despite the VanNockers' inability to pay for it. (CHOP hopes that HealthAmerica will reconsider or that Medicaid will cover the MIBG cost; the VanNockers are Medicaid-eligible because they are bankrupt by medical costs).
$55,000 per round of experimental therapy? Conventional chemotherapy treatments cost roughly $2000 per round. For the price of these two MIBG treatments, over 50 people could receive traditional chemotherapy treatment.
And people wonder why healthcare is so expensive in this country? Nobody wants to draw a line...

Hey, while you are doing the math, can you tell us how many insurance policies it takes to pay one 73 MILLION DOLLAR bonus?
