US researcher Stephen Salloway, of the Butler Hospital in Rhode Island said: ‘This is the best news I’ve had in my 25 years of doing Alzheimer’s research.
‘It brings new hope to the patients and families most affected by this disease.’
Even more excitingly, the drug seemed to halt the disease.

Without FDA approval, health insurance won't cover it. Even overseas it will cost more than 99% can afford.

No doubt. And it sucks. But there would be plenty that would make that trip. I'd say that those that can afford the plane ticket would find some way to pay for the drug as well.
