[QUOTE=arista;11310348]Sadly the cost of these New Dugs are around
$25,000 a go.

So unless the price lowers

the National Health may not be able to afford it



Was Debated on Ch5HD AM Live


It costs a lot more than that to keep an adult in a care/nursing home.
My grandmother has vascular dementia. She has been in a nursing home for just under 16 months and because she had assets, has been a self payer. So far its cost her over £100,000. Now the government have had to step in and fund for her because she's down to her last £6k. Apart from her VD she's fit and healthy and likely to live quite a few more years.
