    The underrated perk of being a leftist we are sleeping on is we don’t need esoteric memes about white people having superpowers. All we need to do is post a city in China or some breakthrough in medicine in China.

          And when he talks abou being afraid of talking about is because of this. Probably he’s now on a list and his baggage is going to be “randomly selected” to custom enforcement.

    If the did approve it the cost of the medicine in the USA would be as much as traveling to China and back anyway.

      Roundtrip tickets from NYC to Beijing are about $900 right now. A course of chemotherapy in the US is about $10,000 to $100,000. Specialized cancer drugs like the kind the mom in the OP would need can cost as much as $120,000 for 4 doses. So a bit more than plane tickets to China.

        At this point China is just subsidizing saving American lives
