@MBTA_CR station messages are inaudible- what is status? What is plan?

Thinking rare disease (insurance) pool - all care from single payer life long - value for GT will appreciate over time in savings to the whole pool. #ASTCTChat @Eddie_Cliff @foglesong_md

#ASTCTChat Q2: What alternative payment models could be employed to pay for high cost, and curative therapies? How can we balance cost to payer against benefit to patients and society? https://t.co/9eOIHuWfzm

[Andreas Klein, MD @AndreasKleinMD]

I think it will have to be - alloBMT will continue to look cheaper and cheaper by comparison - $2.8M just for GT thalassemia product itself #ASTCTChat.

@ASTCT #ASTCTChat To answer this question I would shout out to @mcuban - Can @costplusdrugs supply generic drugs used for conditioning and GVHD management to all transplant centers? This would revolutionize #BMTsm and #CellularTherapy

[Andreas Klein, MD @AndreasKleinMD]

Only 2 adult heart transplant centers in the U.S. with at least 100 patients transplanted over the past 2.5 years have seen better than 96% of their patients alive with a functioning new heart 1 year after transplant. We are proud to be 1 of those centers! https://t.co/oqFPuzcsSP
