The cost of storing cord blood is around $1500 plus $100 a year for storage.
If the government will pay for the storage on the remainder I would be willing to donate some of my kids' samples for the bank.

More than likely this cord bank would be for the public good and on an available basis, I don't think the bank will be used for specific individuals to store cords for future use if they get sick. Like stem cells used for bone marrow transplants, a match would have to be made.
