    The most expensive cases, as a group are not cancer or gerontology cases or AIDS or premature births (though preemies are way up there). The most expensive cases are generally long term neurological cases such as MS. The patient lingers with very expensive care for years, decades even. Millions of dollars is the normal lifetime cost for an MS case. And all you can ever do is make a quality of life improvement in what will always kill the patient, eventually.
