RE: Groundbreaking Blindness Cure Will Come With $850,000 Price Tag

in #health7 years ago

It is always a dilemma. On on hand, I understand the insurance companies perspective....they sink a lot into R&D oftentimes without seeing a return. Of course, $850K to cure someones blindness is excessive since most dont have that.

Fortunately, treatments tend to come down as other companies break patents and race to compete in that market.

Technology is the only cure of the health system....

Yes, I expect this sum to be at least half in a few years time. But then again, it all depends on the competition. Let's hope there will be government grants for this kind of treatment.
