So many people have no clue how expensive chemo is in America. It is common for people to take second mortgages and sell off assets to pay for chemo. I work for a cancer center and we have all our patients complete a financial counseling appointment so we can tell them as gently as possible that you might go bankrupt to pay for treatment. It makes me mad that so many Americans have been so thoroughly brainwashed to hate anything remotely close to socialism that they don't have any empathy or desire for understanding until it happens to them.

It's like these people want to make all kinds of life-saving interventions as available as possible. SMH
I mean what's the point of a serious illness without bankruptcy?!

“So let’s also make chemotherapy free then...”
Yes.
