Amazing how a supposedly finite resource can be printed on a whim at the convenience of specific class of people.

So there is no reason, why all 300 million people in America shouldn't get this treatment right now, in case they have cancer? All at once preferably.

If a DOCTOR (key word) diagnosis you with cancer, then YES. Otherwise, no your time would be better spent doing something else. May I suggest a hobby? Perhaps building strawmen?
