Successfully Financing Personalized Cancer Drug Therapy for All: A Social Policy Perspective

  • Christian Aspalter

摘要

The paper first delivers a reality check and lessons about current choices, perceived ones and not yet envisioned but very efficient and practical ones, in deciding for the financing method and financing origins with regard to personalized cancer drug therapies. People’s health is invaluable. Personalized cancer drug therapies are getting relatively super cheap only if they are financed and owned by the state entirely. Market approaches will exclude most of those people who need personalized cancer drug therapies and then most of them will die (unnecessarily prematurely). There is a choice between (1) deaths of millions versus (2) market profits and misplaced/mis-perceived market beliefs. This article by a global social policy scholar and economist clearly and only chooses to help (and make sure to) prevent the deaths of millions, as much as possible, with the policy choices, financing method choices, at hand—following fully the principles of feasibility, efficiency and most important of all effectiveness.
