If this is how they price these things, then why wasn’t cancer treatment already $1.25M? Did they only just now realize how much they could squeeze out of people?
Luxturna’s treatment is for a very rare form of blindness. Unfortunately treatments for rare diseases tend to be very expensive because of how R&D and the market works, there’s much less opportunity to spread out the cost and mass production never happens. Melanoma is not a rare disease, unfortunately quite the opposite. Cancer in general even less so.
