All good points. The 'experimental' label has been a gray area in terms of approval. I'd guess you are talking about a multi hundred K procedure here. Perhaps if the patient was 70 it is a different case than 17 though... And the fact that the insurance company 'denied' and then 'accepted' points out one of the big problems in the current system.
