Some how I bet it actually cost $6,000,000

you forget that in europe, the insurance probably has to pay all that money.

And you forget that in Europe there's no insurance, but an ACTUAL NHS!
(not to mention that, being a prototype, was probably free)

Wait what? I live in the Netherlands and pay about a 140 a month for health insurance.

Why on earth do you do that? Is it to cover dental or something?

It’s not the up front cost that makes the investors money, it’s the maintenance plan.
