phred, thanks for posting. I am sure that there are others who missed the first post and, honestly, I like the way you presented the article without a lot of commentary or judgement.

The CNN article specifies the cost for those 18-70. Does that mean that those over 70 go through a different procedure?

The article literally says the following about those > 70 and <18;
“The cost: €7 ($7.35) for those aged between 18 and 70. It's not yet clear if others will have a reduced rate or will be able to apply for free”
