Im pretty sure the US is the only healthcare system that could actually handle the logistics of using this….for a lot of money. Saudi princes don’t go to Australia for heart surgery muhahaha

It won't cover that or anything else apparently.

New med science sounds amazing until we realize that insurance here in the US still considers only antiquated methods as acceptable procedure nowadays unless you want to pay OOP

That’s great, but it’s a patented technology and all the procedure might do won’t be covered by insurance companies for a decade.

Getting closer to Star Trek technology

u/FeebysPaperBoat 20d ago

My insurance would never cover this.
