Regular people have insurance and are comped 80%, or they belong to
an HMO and the operation costs them 10 bucks. If you don't have some
sort of insurance coverage surgery expenses are outrageous.

Well, outrageous is up to definition... 50 millions are well behind
outrageous, IMHO.
But I could just ask my father about the costs of a complicated
operation. I gues he'll know... And I bet that surgery is very
expensive, granted. But 250k nuyen are too much.
