Ugh, Paypal is still the worst. My transaction got flagged; maybe they think "DHCP" is some new street drug?

I really hope he doesn't have trouble withdrawing the funds. Paypal is known for freezing funds, sometimes for years.

From their email:

> On March 16, 2021, you sent a payment (xxxxxxxxxx ) for the amount of $xxxxx for "DHCP and DHCPd were significant in my early career. Best wishes." Please provide the following information: > > • An explanation of the reference to "DHCP ." > • The purpose of this payment, including a complete and detailed explanation of what is intended to be paid for.

Dear Roy, It is unfortunate you are dealing with this. I am so sorry and hope for the best. The Handshake founders had an airdrop pre allocated for you in the Handshake Blockchain [1] so there is about $64,000.00 in there that you can claim under marples.name as of writing.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But millions per patient is the exception, most people don't have that spent on them, thats why it averages out, and why countries like Australia can afford public health care.

So Australia does not have any caps whatsoever on what they will spend for disease X?

We spend far more money on widely prescribed drugs like statins.

The most expensive drugs are rarely needed by many people. The big one recently is a drug to treat Hep C, at about A$22000 a patient (but possibly saving years of dialysis) and a macular degeneration treatment (what price do you put in vision?).

It isn't so much the cost, but whether they actually work, or are any better than other treatments.
