The author tries to disprove that cryonics isn't limited to rich people, while also pointing our the $200,000 upfront cost. Sure, a middle class American could probably swing the $300 annual fees, but most would be hard pressed for the $200k upfront cost.

The $300/year annual fees would be for a life insurance policy that already covers the main fee. There isn't a 200k to pay in that case.
