Americans, we get it, you have no healthcare system worth the name. Stop assuming nobody else worldwide can get the meds either.

Exactly. Functional public health systems will assess patient outcomes and the expenditure in money and resources to determine what treatments get approved.

The odds are pretty good that - if this works out - this will be on the list of approved treatments straight away. Surgery is an expensive and high-load pathway for public health systems. A non-surgical treatment that gives good outcomes is such a win-win for both patients and public health systems that it almost doesn't matter how much it costs.

America did this shit to itself

And the civilised world gets dragged into the bullshit

And before you whine, the majority of Americans are a part of the problem in one way or another

Your society (for want of a better term) has gotten what it collectively wants

You try running into comments thinking they're the only nation on earth in every health article and see how long you stay sympathetic.
