I'll take generic cancer treatment, please


Speaking of insipid hospital advertising in Jacksonville Airport, what's the story about this one from Mayo Clinic?  Who on earth doesn't offer personalized cancer treatment?

And, why does it say "most" insurance plans accepted?  Why wouldn't they accept all insurance plans?

As below, does any of this kind of advertising contribute to the public good?

I am afraid you are trying to close the barn door after the horse is long gone. The monetization of medicine is now well underway and I don't see anything on the horizon which will change that. When government contractor companies (as recently noted in the Washington Post) and private equity are attracted to the field, that is a clear cut sign.

So glad you highlight this crappy advertising. Our insurance money is going for this? What an emetic.

my wife has been suffering from thyroid cancer which was confirmed to be stage four, the doctor told me there was little she could do since she wasn’t responding to treatment but my brother in law came to our rescue by ordering this hemp oil from abu wellity foundation which he said has been helping some patient fight against cancer of various types so we decided to give it a chance, so far my wife is improving perfectly very well and presently she can walk around the house all by herself. I felt its necessary i let others who are suffering from this acute disease that once you have a good hemp oil it can really give one a sound second chance of living. if you happen to be in need of this hemp oil you can contact the foundation who supplied my brother in law with this email: ABUWELLITYHEMPFOUNDATION@HOTMAIL.COM
