Reply to comment by lllNico in Jay Leno looks great considering he had third degree burns all over his face by hopper75

I don't think the most advanced plastic surgery needs to be available to all people.

Jay Leno is a talk show host and his appearance is important for his career and for everyone that works for him. I'm a programmer. If I get 3rd degree burns, I don't need the $1m latest cutting edge, option. Take care of the burns, minimize the scars as best you reasonably can, and that's ok.

And realize that by paying for the very advanced, $1m option, Jay is helping to advance that technology and it will become cheaper over time.

You deserve what Leno gets buddy. If he gets plastic surgery, then you should too. And his rich ass should pay for it

Exactly how much do you think the time of a team of world class specialist surgeons and everyone assisting them is worth? Nothing?

at 10.000$ per hour, they would have 100 hours to do the surgery to hit 1 million. I very much doubt it would take them 100 hours and i very much doubt their hourly wage, even at that super high level you are talking about, is 10.000$/hour

And, let’s keep going here, do you think those are the only costs involved in entirely replacing a human’s face? Equipment. Supplies. Finite materials. A place to do it that someone had to spend several hundred million dollars to build. The diagnostic work and preparation beforehand, as the surgeons planned what to do and the teams got things ready. His recovery.

Until we get matter replicators, I’m sorry, but some things are going to be inherently resource heavy to do regardless of whether we choose to assign a currency value to it or not.

How many surgeries do you think have to be done before the facility has paid for itself?

To be fair, every hospital bill I've received I feel like I was being charged for the construction of the building as well.
