With VASO we will never know if the therapy would have helped a larger group since it's up against beta-blockers, statins, stents and by-pass surgury. We have no problem paying for the cure, but never for the early intervention that might have prevented that individual from winding up in the cath lab or OR.

There is little doubt that a less toxic taxol has wide benefits. When you measure survival in months, delays in widening the reimbursement means many die waiting for it to be approved.
