outrage
I believe NICE is the governing decision making group in the UK. It is truly an outrage that they have denied Avastin again. It all comes down to money, as they said "the benefits don't outweigh the cost". Decisions such as this as another reason why so many in the U.S. fear government controlled healthcare. I do hope that the people in the UK will be up in arms over this, as it seems like they are the only major nation denying their cancer patients this drug.0 -

of EU. but in the rest of Europe specially France , Spain and the Nordic states (this are the countries with higher government control in health affairs)
public health care is excellent ,that you can't say about british health sistem wich is not 100% universal nor 100% public. Actually France and Spain are upset due to the big amount of Britons who are coming to be operated here trough the public system for free!0
