Default Tens of thousands sounds pretty good comparatively!

Soccertease, I can't believe I'm writing this, but only "tens of thousands" actually sounds good to me compared to the $100K+ that DBS costs and it has marginal benefits (otherwise, everyone would be lining up for it and that is not the case). So if we could get this and "only" pay tens of thousands, we would actually save money over what we pay every year for meds and doc visits. Not to mention vast improvement in QOL, I think Turner said this set the clock back about ten years for him, that's huge.
