max out of pocket
That's what I've been missing all this time.
Bottom line is:
If you have income above the poverty line, say $2k/mo, don't pay the insurance fee for some reason (the income is from something shady like onlyfans or etsy), you don't have a disability, and you're younger than 65 - only then you can get million dollars bill.
Otherwise, cancer treatment could cost you up to $15-30k and sometimes even be free.
Yeah, thanks for the explanation. I think I have a better understanding of the US healthcare system.
As for the people, they are just parroting the media, nothing new here.
