The initial comment I replied to posited that families should expect to be bankrupted by this. However, this procedure, if it's successful and approved, will be covered by insurers, Medicaid, and Medicare, meaning that people will be able to get the procedure like organ transplants and other life-saving procedures like gall-bladder removal, heart valve surgeries, tumor removal, etc.

Depending on a person's particular plan and individual circumstances, the cost sharing, say, a $3,000 deductible could be difficult. But that's a far cry from the burlesque of the original comment, claiming that families will somehow be forced to pay six figures (?) out of pocket to get this procedure.

Although I don't think it matters to the discussion what my personal beliefs are, I support universal healthcare.
