A joke as in being way too little, or way to much?

That's one of the troubles I have with surgery costs too. Alpha grade and
higher just costs too much in surgery to be available to anyone except
those with a corporation paying the tab. OTOH there are only very few
delta-grade clinics in the world, and nobody gets into them without the
owner's consent. Still, 50 times the normal price would make alpha grade
drastic invasive surgery still cost 12.5 million, which is a bit much
IMHO.
