Reading the article a with a little less sloppiness, the $50 trillion is not what would be doled out for a treatment.

It is the value to the economy of the extended lives and productivity of everyone who is successfully treated by such a cure or preventative.

The actual market value or cost of the cure is not relevant. The 50 trillion figure still stands even if the cure turns out to be gargling with an ounce of root beer twice a day.

Sorry about all that. Missed my morning coffee, and trying to get the place cleaned up.
