Episode notes

I believe that every American should be tested from the age of 45 onwards. I would like to suggest an annual test. This is less than a thousand dollars. And it's almost entirely covered by insurance. For people who don't have Medicare, Medicaid, it's about $100 that they're paying out of pocket. If you catch Alzheimer's early, and you catch it early in one patient, guessing the drugs per month for people with Alzheimer's, it's probably going to be close or first couple of months on that drug could be the cost or, you know, the treatment for getting the prevention, yeah.
