Tldr, Canadian government pulls a Shrekelli by replacing an affordable life saving drug with one that costs over 300k a year

I read the article because I was unfamiliar with the rare disorder and did some research.

http://cystinosis.org/what-is-cystinosis/symptoms-treatment

"It is estimated that at least 2,000 individuals worldwide have cystinosis, though exact numbers are difficult to obtain because the disease is often undiagnosed and/ or misdiagnosed."

As sad as the situation is: Numbers affect the effect.

The cost for a slow release to avoid its original deficiencies seems rather extravagant, but I'm far removed from making such a decision. Only the very elite could afford such treatment. hummmmm
