In Czechia, with its public insurance system, the cost of a liver transplant is about 70 000 USD. But our medical professionals make peanuts compared to the US, and they don't need medical malpractice insurance.

I suspect that the lowest realistic cost in the US could be about 150k.

When compared to conservative treatments, transplants are expensive everywhere. A very invasive treatment with a small army of specialists involved.
