this is day that we news live from berlin a solemn oath and a pledge to defend the rule of law to do my job without any fear or favor. and that i will do so independently both the political branches and of my own preferences. they need coni barrett is sworn in as us supreme court justice our appointment seals a conservative majority in the chamber and hands president trump a face when just 8 days before the u.s. election also coming out. tough new restrictions loom and germany as new cold with

19 infections soar chancellor america is reportedly considering drastic measures to slow the spread of the virus. and we take a look at the game changing discovery that could transform space travel scientists confirmed there is a lot more water on the move and anyone thought. on the welcome to the show u.s. president donald trump has hosted an event at the white house celebrating the confirmation of his latest pick for the supreme court just an hour earlier the senate approved the nomination of amy komi barrett to fill the seat of the late ruth bader ginsburg democrats tried to delay the confirmation until after the election but were overpowered by the republican majority in the senate tony barrett

is the 3rd supreme court justice has appointed. after a month in the spotlight she finally got to say these words. judge any county sheriff is heading to the u.s. supreme court. it's a privilege to be asked to serve my country and this office and i stand here tonight truly honored and humbled. president donald trump is on hand to celebrate one of his signature achievements locking in a conservative majority on the supreme court for many years to come. this is a momentous day for america for the united states constitution for the fair and impartial rule of law. barack took an oath at the white house only in

hour after the senate narrowly voted to secure the nomination order with only one republican not supporting the motion. democrats strongly opposed to the confirmation saying a supreme court justice shouldn't be appointed this close to an election let the record show that tonight the republican senate majority decided to thwart the will of the people and confirm a lifetime appointment to the supreme court in the middle of a presidential election. opponents of carney barrett's nomination say it paves the way for conservative rulings on abortion rights health care and q. rights carny parent val that she will remain independent. the oath that i have solidly taken tonight means at its core that i will do my job without any fear or favor. and that i will do so

independently of both the political branches and of my own preferences. she'll take this 2nd or 3rd to some tuesday at a private ceremony which will allow her to begin the fish who duties on the court. earlier i spoke to t w correspondent stephanie months in washington and asked him whether the appointment of kone barrett could improve donald trump's odds on election day. very very good question a very complicated question and it's not easy to answer it is possible that it helps him a little bit but on the other hand it was a promise by the president from 2016 that he will stake the courts throughout the land and all courts not just the supreme court with conservative judges mitch mcconnell has helped them with this 220 conservative judges all through the federal courts all over the country are appointed were appointed by the senate or and nominated by donald trump 3 justices miss barrett is the last one so this is

a political success and for the president however will it translate in more votes for him come november 3rd that is questionable why because $60000000.00 plus people already have voted and other other topics besides a conservative court what republicans always wanted and stand for are really at the meat here and that is perowne of ours coronavirus coronavirus and the economy there is now 6 to 3 conservative majority on the supreme court that's the most significant ideological shift and some 30 years so what does that mean for the american people. well that means that exactly as you said there's a control conservative it's not supposed to be but the conservatives slide into the . into direction of republicans and conservatism in the united states supreme court and maybe countrywide because it has really actually. it has a result if you have

a conservative court predominantly conservative court for example voting rights abortion rights and health care affordable care act obamacare these are all top topics which are which will be if not slug already in for being in front of the supreme court will be there shortly and then the court has to decide now the only chance the only chance for democrats to swing this around is to go called the court that means put extend the number of of the justices at the court from 9 to let's say 11 or 12 or 13 but that's very unlikely actually we just heard it in the report there is a lot of speculation about how the supreme court might deal with president trying challenging the results of the upcoming election the u.s. supreme court is supposed to be above politics so how justified are concerns about the supreme court helping the president hold on to power despite

a feat. well i think this is one scenario and it has a little bit ring of doomsday with it of course so i think we should all cool down a little bit and see it for what it is the democrats win this fair and square here then with votes and they will be all counted and regularly counted there won't be any foul play in any big way i am sure of this and there's institutions and agencies and departments of government taking care of that this is not going to have been reduced by all the rhetoric from from president trump so if this is going to happen and biden wins the election then i think the president will. do what is in the constitution and will concede at some point now however the scenario you're referring to is that he says well you know it's very very tied we don't know about the count really and how much how much your problems were with the count and then

goal bring this case towards the coach to it's the court and i don't think that even a freshly appointed justice at the supreme court will do anything politically motivated just to keep donald trump in power i don't think we're at that point here in the united states of america yet all right stephanie wants and in washington d.c. thank you very much. let's now take a look at some other stories making news around the world more than 100000 people in california are under orders to evacuate as a wildfire sweeps close to urban areas there the place started in orange county south of los angeles and it's threatening the city of irvine 3 firefighters have been seriously injured battling the blaze which has yet to be contained. bolivian judge has thrown out and arrest warrant for exiled former president will more dilutes the decision and mabel's him to return to bolivia without risking detention morales socialist party swept back into power earlier this month one

bolivian selective lose are seen as president. to germany now where a surge in coronavirus cases has leaders considering more drastic measures to contain the buildup of a 2nd wave on wednesday chancellor angela merkel will hold an emergency meeting with the 16 state premiers to discuss new proposals tougher restrictions are likely to focus on closing bars and restaurants and canceling public events cases in germany have almost doubled within a week. german officials are worried about the latest numbers coming from the country's public health institute daily infections have reached new highs and there are more than 250 hotspots nationwide germany last weekend also exceeded the grim milestone of $10000.00 coronavirus deaths now these numbers have led chancellor merkel's conservative c.d.u. party to postpone a pivotal party conference the goal of the conference which was supposed to be held

at the beginning of december was to appoint a new party leader who would then be in the running to become the conservative chancellor candidate in the 2021 election while her party debates the future the chancellor has continued to focus on the pandemic she has repeatedly told citizens to stay at home whenever possible and she did so again at the weekend. the years and. we are not powerless against the virus our behavior decided to the extent to which in the speed at which the virus spreads and the order of the day for all of us is to reduce contact and meet far fewer people mention of. german officials recently announced new measures against the virus they include limiting private gatherings and wearing face masks on busy streets it's really easy it was for me it's obvious with the high numbers we have i myself had coronavirus and i know what i'm talking about we all have to protect each other now. we must have

a mask does not stop aero salt you can talk about wearing them indoors but outside it's total rubbish. both on the streets and among politicians there is a growing debate about germany's cause of action as the country grapples with a serious 2nd wave of the coronavirus pandemic. workers and students and bella ruse have gone on strike to press their demands for democratic reforms and the resignation of president aleksander local shango the strike raises the pressure on the question go claim to have won a disputed election in august thousands of people have been taking to the streets every weekend since then to demand a step down. thousands of students took to the streets early on monday in front of the state university in minsk day one of the opposition's new call for a general strike i don't want to live in fear says this sign protestors feel intimidated by the oman riot police who made numerous arrests.

many workers in state owned enterprises joined the general strike images from the tractor factory and a plant for special vehicles. joined us they chanted to their colleagues much of the machinery stopped running thousands of people gathered again on the streets of minsk on monday afternoon flying the flag of the opposition. on her website opposition leaders. called on workers to fight for a peaceful future where she would. this is just the start of a general strike that will continue of this i am certain every one of us must now decide for themselves how much responsibility they want to take on. this. russian state television interview public enterprise workers who are not taking part in the strength of that we must feed our families send this man on his way to

work rather than to the pick up a minus. now some good news for all those dreaming about one day setting up camp on the moon nasa scientists say they found clear evidence that there is more water on the lunar surface than anyone previously suspected new research suggests that future explorers won't have to venture to the moon's polar regions and search of life sustaining water. more water on the moon yes life no that's what nasa announced that the video press conference scientists there said they found more water on the moon than they ever thought before but they shot down the idea that that would mean the moon could harbor life. the discovery of more water on the moon was confirmed by technology from its flying lab the stratospheric observatory for infrared astronomy known also by its acronym sophia the scientists said that the deposits are at least partly the result of meteors that carried water

and that crashed on the surface of the moon the impact caused rock to melt and form glass beads and trapping the water thus allowing it to survive on the moon's harsh surface more water bearing beads might also be buried deeper nasa also said that there is perhaps more water hidden in the form of ice patches located in permanent shadows of the moon one of the nasa scientists said that it's not a lot of water the amount is equal to $1300.00 milliliter bottle of water per cubic meter another said that the water doesn't mean that there could be life on the moon because you need more than water to ensure the conditions for life we go whoa. whoa whoa. whoa whoa. whoa. whoa. whoa whoa. whoa whoa. whoa whoa whoa.

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa however scientists did say that if they can eventually extract enough water from the moon it could eliminate the need to bring water on space missions water is very heavy and takes up a lot of room room that could be used for other purposes. they're watching to tell you need is a mix of friendly thanks for tuning in. the sense. that. we're all about the series that. i'm sure that. whatever it takes. you are running around trying to explain a little nugget help w. just made for mines.

we know mission weekly launched and my name is michelle and munched life and i'm a father of 2 children because i was diagnosed with cancer wrote about my 3 loop hole 2 weeks later my life looked radically different has never been the same so it's unclear. even 2 rounds of chemotherapy couldn't treat mikhail's aggressive cancer only honk let. create a self if left untreated i would die in 2 or 3 months at best to share so it's incredibly serious clear. his my last hope is a gene therapy with cancer killing cells such as kim mariah from nova artist with a price tag of 370000 swiss francs and camera is just the beginning a new drug let's turn it was injected into it on an $850000.00 bill jensen

it's now the most expensive drug on earth right. $1000000.00 how willing is society to bear the costs of withholding or do let someone die to save money because their . power at these prices calculated paul do its utmost on the coals pharmaceutical companies sound the market to determine what can make it house of it and with a limousine will she need the full ball would health insurance companies pay these record prices. 437-0000 francs that's a lot of money and the concept of what it was what can you do. it's tricky it's hard to tell what the future has in store. we're going to get this cancer. let's hope so. make a home and has

a rare and aggressive form of lymph node cancer his crooked mouth also comes from the disease. or. his last hope is kim riaa a completely new treatment just approved last fall. samples are taken of the patient's own immune cells and these are sent to a noble artist laboratory in the us there the cells are genetically modified and reprogrammed into cancer killing sounds. after being multiplied and frozen these cells are sent back to switzerland. the patient receives the killer cells in one single infusion with a price tag of $370000.00 swiss francs according to the no watches catalogue.

it remains unclear whether the health insurance companies will pay for camera they have joined together to negotiate a discount. i'm latina vice and i work for the insurer hazen where i negotiate contracts with the pharmaceutical industry we're currently negotiating the price of qumran with novartis. the price is too much she says partly because it is unclear what long term effects can royal will have and whether the cancer will return. official and it isn't quite clear to us how the price came about we didn't receive any cost breakdown and don't know why the price is so high it's all day it's good now is all. bought into pharma companies provide that gonski formally and there is no formula as to how the price breaks down and i've never seen a lot of the hole for me in this and i think they try to start with as high a price as possible because in the end it always gets negotiated and the holly manoir the 1st price they set is just a starting place it's off now it's

a real problem if you ask me i couldn't tell you what we can do about it because in any saga. they discussed whether health insurance should pay. only in the event of success but what is success when it comes to cancer there's no solution in sight and for the time being every insurer is deciding for themselves. as low cost it sure to pre refuses to pay for. the benefits are not clear enough they say. the house to be honest i was furious as well because this stinks of incompetence if you're in the end it's like the wild west you'll see that you could lie for those who can afford treatment so the ones who get a chance to have. and for others it's not clear whether they can it's 2 tier health care yes. make a relative's want to fund the treatment themselves but the hospital is demanding half a 1000000 francs as security. after

a camera infusion some patients reactions require transfer to the intensive care unit to leave because he. believes kindly willing to give 850000 franc advance on her inheritance. appropriate so. it's only a few meters so i'm also getting an advance on an inheritance. when my brothers bought their houses they got their share and i haven't needed it so far so but soca what now i'd like to use it for this and it's also pool. is. exactly what i was exactly so you do you have it really touch me that a lot of people i know are ready to give 10000 francs if it will help saying they know it isn't much so. there are a lot of people like that and it really touches down the hall who benefits because everyone realizes that in the worst case scenario the money will simply be going to

fall out and in the very worst case it won't even have done any good if all. according to novo arches one and a half years after treatment 40 percent of patients like me. still have cancer. that's a start up but could it be better. those made of course but the drug i'm currently on had a 20 percent chance of success. in the south was good there were days when i thought least that's it as he gets older. i could only hope my final hours would go quickly told us this done i didn't want my family to have to watch forever this out and for me to be a never ending with a work out committee and i didn't want to lie around like a vegetable and drugs to work through and still cook amusing.

about a dozen cancer patients cannot be treated due to the price dispute critics might claim the health insurers are at fault with terminally ill patients running out of time and dying while negotiations my gone with no bar to see the full or there's a villain either thought of but that's not the case we all share the responsibility because we have yet to find a solution to this all around less than ideal situation fall is it not so. mikhail monch times family has scraped together half a 1000000 francs he is the 1st lymphatic cancer patient in switzerland to receive can write. the border. mikhail has a taken from him that will be shipped by plane to the us where they will be converted into cancer killing cells referred to as kartini cells.

will the treatment work make iles cancer is growing so every day counts. he says how many and it takes a while for the cells to be produced in a best case scenario it will be 4 weeks but it may take a little longer since so many products are sent in put up the high concept of doctors i'm called to. the head to ensure the funds are available to go come to ny about as prepared to issue a bank guarantee that i and we are supposed to deposit everything into a special escrow account that spec here's dan c. we'll make sure it's not touched this way we can proceed with treatment by the father feel your lymph nodes got it while. i was a pro. moved through clinical trials funded by novara case.

here i can feel at least 2. experts criticize the fact that the effect of can riaa has been tested on less than 100 patients worldwide the follow a period was less than 2 years and came royal was not compared to an existing treatment so the long term effects remain unknown this criticism generally holds true for other trials on bring her diseases. but naturally patients want the treatment as soon as possible and the companies present the study results as positively as they can says antonia miller this is that this is the case everywhere and it's intuitive although there have also been studies with carty cells that have to be aborted because test subjects were dying and there were too many side effects up or and. because that lead out isn't that crazy. wow why

was i will say yes but we're also talking about patients who would otherwise die along with all their can competent diseases that's. it's nation watched and that's our world has gotten impatient and our patients have to we're not just going to say to them let's wait 5 years and all that's the problem it's fucking a muffin fiasco. the trial with these deaths didn't concern no artist which conducted follow up studies on safety and efficacy. but what do you say about no barter system price as if in south sudan prices i find the prices in general to be staggering and many areas if you need to and not just those of novartis. or and these prices are completely nontransparent to patients and to us doctors. mr should also be someone enabling all of this to go on because there are vested interests and mine so there are reasons why they want to be on the company's good solid this

pushed into interestingly the one that stuck in the $16.00 myth in film and then measure their wives stand off it because they could also produce in india or china . so it means jobs in basel albats that's an it's the jobs of course i do you look at switzerland for example it doesn't have much industry but it does post a few of the world's most important pharmaceutical companies a 55 i can sell it. at no fortresses plant in the town of dine in argo switzerland we meet with the head of cell and gene therapy in europe a month away in austin e. . so this will be. this will be a key site for us. they avoid talking about numbers here but cancer patients expect a price discount if the transport costs to the us are eliminated. no

says mr austin e. because the production side doesn't affect the price it is the value of gene therapy that is relevant meaning a prolonged life. this is a paradigm shift because the pharmaceutical industry used to justify its prices with high research costs. the principle of value based prices is wrong health insurer say because a human life is ultimately priceless and they estimate that premiums will rise by more than 10 percent over 10 years due to the cost of medicines. and you're not afraid that the health care system could break if you continue like this. no i'm not afraid i think we can find the solutions we are open to take the resources the kinds we're open to take risks with with our

stakeholders to make sure that we can bring the therapist to the patient. the pharmaceutical industry calls this risk sharing with those insured bearing part of the risk including the risk for camera which was not even invented by no bar to small. these cancer becoming cells trace their origins back to the university of pennsylvania and this is far from an isolated case with more than 60 percent of newly approved drugs in the u.s. not stemming from pharmaceutical companies that. are an army professor at the university of pennsylvania marching name invented. in 2465 years old but i've been working on the. 19th and i did. carl june was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by time

magazine in 2018 the 1st actually test of this is in patients read h.i.v.'s faction because they have lost during the virus many of their own t. cells. 2 years later my wife died of ovarian cancer in 2001 and so i really needed to move from hiv the to do really all cancer or. at the time however he did not receive a dollar from the pharmaceutical industry because the treatment initially only worked on mice but not human it's ok what we know for sure is that the. fund the essential a was essential to make a new industry so to have philanthropy and the government support it was millions there was millions it was probably $20000000.00 i mean. i think for sure $20000000.00 were invested between when i came to university of pennsylvania in

1909 until nov artists at the alliance were in there in 2012 but the riskiest part was state and government yes all the initial research that showed this new concept of our car teams could work was the academic laboratories. in 2010 came the breakthrough in the cancer patient douglas olson however it was the news of 7 year old emily whitehead that spread around the world . to save the young leukemia patients my and even 7 years after the fusion she remained cancer free. the treatment is more effective in children than adults. we had hundreds of calls for a better capitalist warning to start their companies that fortunately had no heart us call us about why are there course a lot of us. inventing a drug is one thing says novartis but putting the research into practical use

through a market launch is costly and time consuming insiders say no parties pay the university about 225000000 for the exclusive right to sell q mariah and novartis is paying the university about 5 percent of the sales price for each infusion the group has no comment on this the health care industry is not transparent and it's not been designed for the benefit directly of a patient and transparency our most recent estimates. are around $55000.00 just to make the cars the cell that's our cost per patient and with no profit. so the actual cost is almost $7.00 times cheaper the university however had only done small scale trials with camera while novartis had to fund world wide studies to attain market approval and build centers to produce the treatment.

and is still waiting for his cancer killing cells from the us when suddenly a message comes from nova artists the group will give him to mariah for free. plus amusement of all things were filled with joy i'm very relieved it made you to be. mean you always a lot of money at stake also of azza will start their own cult of what about other came via patients standing looking like. those i don't know novartis is plaids and that's when the ethically it's a delicate question as to whom novartis gives free treatment at the u.s. of course. the 1st 2 swiss patients are being given key mariah for free because negotiations with health care insurers are taking so long know far to 6 planes. became.

a father of 2 children will all to mentally lose the race against time nope artists usa informs him that his cancer killing cells have not managed to multiply well enough to produce camera. 900 days later he dies. my name is paul toit can then in the pharmaceutical industry for 30 years in the last position the law as a us president and chief executive officer of a company i am retired now and over the last 5 years i have been dealing with and

then curable cancer. so car know what it's like to show us all the medications that i have to take in a day. this being the most important one just as my anti-cancer drug. disprove it to take one of these capsules for day the cost of those a $750.00 each and entrusting only enough they only cost $1.00 each to manufacture. what do you think about the price of $370000.00 swiss francs for a camera that's ridiculous car it should never happen this is a product that was developed at the expense of the u.s. taxpayer did you have a different view when you were still a former manager and then you have on your industry. the answer is. yes current and. for 2 reasons 1st i was not

a patient i've been part of the system i've been a my family's been a beneficiary of that system. i really didn't know any better at the time you know you go to work at the get a perspective which is the company perspective. what you learn as you get older is your perspective becomes much wider. than is the former c.e.o. of a company acquired by no bar to see in 2002 he says no participant benefited from a 50 percent discount on the cost of its trials with camera this was the u.s. is way up incentivizing research on a rare disease or it's people like myself who actually have funded the development program into development program or half the development program of come right out and what we get in return is basically a punch in the teeth from the artists. create a price model for camera based on no participant lanes that it had invested over

1000000000 euros by the time the treatment was approved. i calculate it a fair price current of $200000.00 for infusion in 2019 using the assumptions using the assumption that no forests were generated total of $1700.00 patients infusions out of 14. out of 14000 potentially. goes on we can actually drop that price it can be reduced to about half of 370000 francs the fair price is calculated in such a way that no barges achieves an average operating profit of 20.7 percent the research costs averaging at 17.3 percent are also included in this calculation the health insurance o.c.s. . there's also demanding a price of 200000 francs for him right. i've looked at the document you sammy the

document is full of incorrect information they gave me the correct information i cannot give you that and i am up i cannot comment on it because it is not ardent dhar data it is not our document the criticism on the farm are not just novartis but on the pharmacy in transparency is growing worldwide we hear it we age o.b. hear it with the health insurers with the public because the public is the payer. are you afraid that this will damage the image of nobodies. are not afraid of the damage to the to know why it is or you mention in transparency transparency is required across the system not just from one party our government is asking for transparency because we have a transparent list for prices i think it's the opposite. or it can be discussed in a broader group i think it's a bit it's a different conversation. 71

year old court bending. also has lymph node cancer and he says if he has the strength he goes out with his dollars because of the price dispute he has had to wait 3 months for the health insurer to decide whether to pay for camera. quite a few could you afford it if the health insurance didn't pay when he owned approach i were 100 percent sure it would work i would sell my house but i can tell you that if it doesn't work my wife will be left with nothing that's out of the question in my eyes that ever it is that most of the benefits if a company didn't pay for you you wouldn't do it me no it's too risky stunt because the low chance of being cured. and. each year around 110 cancer patients in switzerland who have undergone all other treatments to no

avail received camera and the 64 year old teacher anton schlosser in blunt maryland is one of them. it has the most interest in that the question is what is a human life it's to put it bluntly you're over 60 if a young person asks how much longer do you have left is it even worth it when curing your illness is a best case scenario and does it hurt to hear that kind of question. now you have to think so you know but i've also met young people in the hospital who are in greater need when you look at it that way. but i've lived a decent life and it's been nice so far sharing since every. time i almost feel ashamed that even though i didn't set the price you feel very uncomfortable and so guilt that it's the only chance he has left of course you're not going to say no.

do you feel guilty sure. now i didn't need belief not really i was in good health for a long time and paid premiums for decades it never really needed anything imo beam out of the straw this came as a surprise in court this health insurance is also paying for humor. the price negotiations between the insurers and of artists took 4 months with the price being haggled up and down like at a bazaar. some insurers threw in the towel while others came to an agreement with novartis. 4 insiders say insurers wanted a 45 percent discount on camera out for treating lymphatic cancer which was too much for novartis they instead agreed to a 20 to 30 percent discount to pending on kevin ryan's success rate meaning about 250-002-3000 extension 00 francs but no one is willing to talk about.

the agreement after all is confidential in fact it is so shrouded in secrecy that health insurers such as concordia which were not in on the deal will not even find out their discount until they have signed the contract coffin with ink it's scandalous this is the 1st time i know of for us to conclude a contract where we don't even know the price of the tissue that's unheard of in swiss health care with prices and contract clause as a normally transparent. you can usually check what you have to pay for hospital treatment and cost transparency is very important in health care otherwise we subjugate ourselves to the big corporations. court ending or has to have another cell sample taken because novartis didn't manage to produce the cancer killing cells in the us as they did for me.

in this school it's free of course it doesn't feel good things were looking up and most of it is then there wasn't enough cells at strain a cut. in the approval study for camera one 3rd of patients could not be treated at all either because the cancer killing cells couldn't be produced the patient's illness. had progressed too far or they had died waiting like mikail moonshine. anton schlosser receives good news from the us his cancer killing cells have been successfully produced and are on their way to switzerland and because it is in moves then you get back these cards here man cells cells that are even stronger than normal immune cells and in the last many moons and and when immune cells get into action there are side effects last time isolations may experience fever circulatory problems or even organ failure. in that site at best kidney failure for

instance has been observed in about 20 percent of patients once but some of them needed dialysis that the status puts in. and until use it as a potential most. cancer killing cells can feel patients and kill them. so those cells are the last hope for those who would otherwise die of the disease. you know michel for jerry my name is all for it scheidegger and i'm a risk capital investor day here in san francisco i'm attending the world's biggest health care conference. alfred scheidegger invests in small biotech companies developing new cancer drugs. have a good day about. his goal is to sell the small companies to pharmaceutical

companies for a profit. so we'll. see how are you doing here to not tell you where they go it's been able to start what we're doing. is good the truth. mr shining or what's going on here yeah that's a shell so it's like a marriage market it's unbelievable. if you run into all kinds of biotech companies especially on. pharma be able to pharmaceutical companies aiming to take over small companies later on once they've provided proof that their cancer drug is effective in humans like we're doing is that it's you know. 60 percent of new drugs are not developed by pharmaceutical companies but by small biotech companies they need a lot of money for studies with patients and this money comes from investors like alfred scheidegger and marcus horse on. china goes company often invests during the

early stages of research but the pharmaceutical industry pays the most when a biotech company is about to launch a new drug on the market i know why this is why the us provide you have access to the pie secondly $90000000000.00 gilliatt science has agreed to by kite pharma for almost $12000000000.00 no barges has now demanding a record price of $2100000.00 for of access treatment is it the greasy noodles there are calculations involved that have an impact on the price tag and the fact you have to gain back your investment and of course that's part of the market price in the event based on tired of souls full mock plays with him riaa nov artist managed to avoid dealing with the biotech companies for investors by signing a contract directly with the university saving them billions. for patient court bending or at

a hospital camera is able to be successfully produced on the 2nd try. 3 a few more 3 milliliters costs 370000 francs it. doesn't get it this is a discussion that i frankly do not want to get into now at a patient's bedside young i've still got a life to live. i feel like i comprehend you have high hopes it will work. and tom shows i received his infusion 2 days earlier. that said that it is how you doing fine so i have heard it tired right i fall asleep even if i want to watch something. maclin you tell of the king roy is

working and this is very safe for your heart it's too early we hope so of course but we can't tell through free will we have high expectations of course their kids if it was all scuse me for a moment no government representative on the phone informs her of new problems with humira since it is considered a hospital treatment the cantons have to cover 55 percent of the cost. name they are stocking us up no we're starting the process in parallel to buy the car because of the cost it's a vicious circle because the health insurance only covers the costs if the cantonal government also agrees to give its part so i was in the supplies if that's properly lawful by you know each of them says they'll only do it if the other has already agreed to stem cut.
