A ICU coma patient's care isn't trivial, but the kind or price you're taking about isn't cost-based, it's the kind of prices that we pay due to big insurance. A competitive business could provide much better prices even at today's technology level and I expect by the time this conversation is relevant good automation could do much of the of the work.

What's a good price target? 50$ a day? That's 18k a year give or take.

If we are doing brains in mass that is very different to a handful of ICU patients.
The brain would need to be fed a stream of nutrients and hormones along with oxygenated air.
Everything could be recycled locally.
So we are talking more like an automated fish tank + chemical needed to keep it running than a hospital .
So long term a few bucks per day.
