Champagne

I'm thankful that we live in a country with universal healthcare. I got my first treatment of Nivolumab today, and looked up the price of this drug in the USA. Drugs.com says it averages $1,323 USD for a supply of 4 millilitres (10 mg/mL) and my dose was 427mg. This works out to about $14,123 USD per dose. My course is for 13 doses for a grand total of half your house.
PS: The process went well. I was cold during the IV, but it was probably because of the air conditioner duct above my head.
