American health insurance is allowed to refuse to pay for any treatment considered experimental so the correct question is "will anyone be able to afford it" and the answer is "not the masses not anytime this decade".

I bet its cheaper than the alternative, expensive treatment for life...

  Yes, and most people can't afford neither.

    Medicare pays for dialysis, regardless of age. So it'll probably also pay for this, to save itself money.

I see this argument very often in relation to various medical interventions. First off, insurance anywhere isn’t going to just pay for experimental treatment. Second, a great deal of inventions were not available to the masses at first. So should we stop inventing things? Or wait for a new worldwide socialist revolution first?
