It's not 40k worth.

That's what insurance paid for it.

It cost $3 to make and half of that is the plastic for the bottles.

What kind of transplant did you have?

I hate to say this to our US friends - it's been said many times before - but in the UK that would all be free, regardless of age or circumstances.

Prescriptions in England are normally free for babies, children in full-time education, and people over a certain age. Those who don't fall into those categories would normally pay around £10 per item on the prescription. However if you have a major illness such as cancer, everything is free. This includes special foods if required.

Now I know this all comes out of taxes in some shape or other, but those taxes are often cheaper than typical US medical insurance.
