8. Who paid for the drug and how much did it cost?

We don’t know. Samaritan’s Purse covered the cost of Brantly and Writebol’s evacuations but did not pay for the drug, according to a spokesman.

When a patient gets an experimental drug, the drug company can donate the product under compassionate use. Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. might have done that in this case.

Health insurance companies typically do not pick up the tab for treatments that have not been approved by the FDA. But they would usually cover the cost of any doctor fees associated with giving the drug and any costs associated with monitoring how the drug is working.

    I don’t think you guys should wait for this zmapp drug.. I know something that will work! Trust me. infected people should get zam-zam water(Muslims holy water). pray over it and drink/bath with it. uninfected people could also do the same. Trust me it works!

      Very right, Allaah says ” I have not created any ailment except with the cure” Zam Zam water heals whatever you use it for by the power of the Creator.

    The United States Department of Defense funded lots of Scientist the beginning of this year to make a cure for Ebola. In the middle of the year there’s a huge outbreak out of nowhere. Open your eyes people!!!! Read the article again and pay close attention to the dates. The US is so corrupt!
