The cost of a mammogram is about $100 and the cost of a breast biopsy is about $1000. Thus 2000 women X 10 years X $100/mammorgram + 8%X2000 women X $1000/biopsy = $2,160,000 per life saved.
This might be the calculation they actually looked at.
and if a million dollars is the bright line, this explains why the 3x better age range of 50-60 got a pass.
