That's about 50 months on dialysis, not counting the cost of the complications you'll get, and the kidney transplant you'll still need if you want to live longer than six or seven years, and the anti-rejection drugs you'll need after transplant. That $500K pill would be a bargain.

The only problem is the dialysis for end stage renal disease is covered by medicare and not insurance. So this would be a medicare problem.
