Question regarding a potential character's background and motivations: would they have the technology to fix a broken spinal cord, and if so, would it be reasonably accessible to the general public or too expensive for most people?

Judging by the near $300 I got charged for speaking to a doctor for five minutes and getting prescribed what was essentially glorified moisturizer I'm pretty sure you have to sacrifice an elementary school for that kind of medical care here. Though in seriousness it is a very interesting question. I'm curious as to how the world/U.S changed in the missing years.
