I saw somewhere that a full year's treatment of the new Alzheimers drug costs $56k per person. And yes, there is a lot of disagreement on whether it does anything.

From CNN:

"CMS said part of the increase for 2022 was because of uncertainty over how much the agency will end up paying to treat beneficiaries to be treated with Aduhelm, an Alzheimer's drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in June over the objections of its advisers. Some experts estimate it will cost $56,000 a year. Medicare is deciding whether to pay for it now on a case-by-case basis."
