Do you have a sense of the production costs?<p>If they aren&#x27;t very high, the US government could start making the company look like jerks by offering $50 billion for the patent. I&#x27;m pretty sure they would be able to calculate a nice return based on a payment like that.<p>The math works fine for that, there&#x27;s ~3 million people just in the US to treat, paying $50 billion would save a substantial amount just treating those patients. Of course, we don&#x27;t run our government based on math that makes sense, so it&#x27;s a pipe dream.
