Canada can easily afford to pay for this drug, it is just that they don’t want to pay the astronomically high price that Vertex wants for their magic blue pills. But as opposed to taking the time to negotiate a better price for it, with the lives of CF patients in the balance they should have bought a year of Kalydeco at the going rate, and without a pricing agreement in place. This would have given them the breathing room to negotiate a better deal with Vertex for the long term without punishing the very people that stand to benefit from Kalydeco, by denying them immediate access to it. To have done so is absolutely unconscionable!
