Dew,

How much would an intravenous injection/dosing cost? One would have to think that MediCare/Insurance companies would pull more weight than the doctors, if the cost of deliverying a similar effective drug (i.e., Squalamine) was a lot cheaper.

I guess the doctors wouldn't have to use Squalamine, however, why wouldn't Medicare/Insurance lower its coverage rates thus forcing doctors to use Squalamine or a cheaper yet as effective drug.

Do you think patients would have anything to say in the matter?

Thanks. 10nis.
