F cancer, F insurance companies, and F big pharma!!!

My favorite aunt was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a little over 3 yrs ago. After a year of chemo and radiation therapy she finally had surgery to try and remove the cancer from her body. The surgery was successful and after 1 more round of chemo she went into remission. Sadly, about a year after that she found out that the cancer was back but it was not as aggressive and could be controlled and contained as long as she stays on chemo basically for the rest of her life. She was perscribed an FDA approved oral oncology drug. Yesterday we found out that her insurance would no longer pay for the drug that she needs to sustain her life. This drug costs $15,000 a month. My aunt is a high school teacher and an employee of the state of Arkansas. Her insurance company, provided by the state, and the state have both pretty much told her tough shite.

First, how TF is it moral or ethical to charge that much for any drug? I get that it’s not cheap but my God that is ridiculous! Secondly, screw that fricking insurance company for refusing to pay for a drug when one of its customers makes all of her payments for that reason. And lastly, frick CANCER!!!
