So? Why attack those who oligarchy wants you to attack

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.

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.

Found this post as well. ED is not always an option

That's some poor propaganda, comrade fox news. You should've rendered it in Arabic or Chinese to scare them out

Ok, I get the Black mirror reference, but I wanted serious answers

And after I go bankrupt, my children go broke, could I receive the governmental treatment for remission?

It looks like if a person is above the poverty line and is under 65 they will have to pay like 20% of the medical bill which could be insane, given they have an insurance. Otherwise most first line treatments are covered by Medicare and Medicaid Plan B.

So if a person earns, like not insane $3k/mo, they will most certainly be billed with enormous bills and be refused to be treated again in case of relapse, just because they haven't paid the previous bill?

 

I am not from the US. Had my close relative fight with cancer. If not for the government which sponsored it almost fully, excluding a couple of procedures like PET, it would cost our family a lot. Just for the scale: pial for one infusion of one out of three drugs would cost us $8k and my relative would've needed 16 infusions.
