Good thing we live in a society that fairly matches manufacture cost and consumer cost. This won’t be filled with sad insulin style stories. Def not.

For a price reference on US health care...
Open heart surgery in India costs $1-2k, as opposed to the US where it's a couple hundred thousand.

Summary: CAR-T was approved for use in 2017 for treating leukemia or lymph nodes cancers and cost around $400,000 per treatment versus NexCar19 costing around $50,000 per treatment. Both are still relatively new treatments and continue to be developed to increase effectiveness, reduce side effects and increase the range of cancer's that they can treat

Let's hope this less expensive alternative doesn't get wrecked by insurance companies (you can tell I'm from the US) making profits off of it.

Not insurance companies in this case, for they make their money by *not* paying out. This would be on pharmaceutical companies colluding to jack the price to exorbitant levels.
