I am happy for this break through. My cousin would love to have this treatment to be free of this pain for 41 years. Lower the price. We are not rich.

Maybe the price will go down. 2.2 mil is unreachable for almost everyone.

I need more information about this treatment and if there is a possibility of a cure in the United States, things happen easier, the forms of treatment. I'm from Brazil looking for more news about sickle cell anemia.

The cost of this therapy is $2.2 million per person. For a cure that is predominantly plaguing the black/hispanic community (1/365 black AA) to promote a cure for a disease that most AA with the disease won't ever be able afford is not helpful in my opinion. There's no way an insurance company would dare cover this treatment. It just an advertisement of showcasing medical advances that is clouded in false hope.

Yes and it costs 2.2 million dollars per patient.!! It also involves chemotherapy. And it takes 6-7 months.
Who will pay the 2.2 million dollars???

Hopefully, the costs will come down. Since it's not really a cure if it can not be given yo the people thst need it.
