You are right in the sense that 80% of Americans with GBM cannot of course come up with the money to pay for DCVax-L under the Specials program.

However, with that said, a high enough percentage of Americans diagnosed with will tap out every resource of friends and family to go to the UK and get treated and that will draw lots of notice and put the FDA under a lot of pressure from Americans of all ideological persuasions. Left-leaning folks will focus on the economic and ethnic inequities with respect to which Americans can and cannot muster the resources to get to the UK. Right leaning folks largely believe that folks who work and have a job with insurance should have an effective treatment under that insurance (only extremists think you have to be able to self-pay all the way to be worthy of life). In short, there will be a clamor from all quarters if an American company is saving lots of British lives but comparatively few American lives.
