Capitalism's moral superiority rests on the principle that capitalism is when the consumer wins, we consumers have the right to freely vote with our money on what heath care services and supplies we desire and that a capitalist system best services our want and needs compared with a less effiecints socialist health care system.

From a strictly cost perspective, this study is awful. The patient population is not being prescribed the drug to start with, so cost is zero. The likelihood of fatal first incident is high, so therefore future cost is low. Now to extend life, we have to pay first for the drug, but also all the future medical expenses of those who would have died without it. In essence, the more effective a treatment, the greater the overall cost. It is beyond me how the leftists refuse to recognize that this system of theirs MUST result in either "death panels" or the bankruptcy of our nation.
