No, it's not. $20k is peanuts compared to the cost of in-home care, especially since that would probably be pro-rated over ~5 years. If they can keep it in that price range and make it useful for simple household tasks (get something from the fridge/pantry/closet, put things in trash, operate a microwave or toaster oven, etc.), this could change a lot of people's lives for the better.
