So as a society, we're spending almost $500 per day, almost $10,000 per month keeping me alive. Without this medicine, I'd be on my deathbed right now.
In case you're wondering how much it costs on a daily basis for me not to die.
(Thankfully, my health insurance covers all of this but a small co-pay.)
