For diseases where there are just a handful of patients requiring sky-high treatment prices, it would be worth investigating whether society can spread their costs among enough people that the costs are bearable anyway. And 10 people yearly requiring a $10m (each) specialized treatment would cost a population of 100 million taxpayers a dollar each. Of course, if these treatments are more common at the same price, the social costs might be too high and we'd have to let people live or die depending on their financial situation or ability to fundraise.
