It really hurt reading this. I am so sorry for these two. It's beyond words.

The sad part is it doesnt take cancer to do this. My wife had a spinal injury in January. Fast forward to today and she has lost her job after FMLA was used up. That leaves us with no insurance for the entire family because we were all covered under her. But even with that insurance we have incurred $6k (medical center billing only) of out of pocket expenses for tests and imaging that the insurance company requires before they will approve the treatment that her doctor already knows she needs. On top of that $50 every time we walk into an office + prescription costs for her pain management + $30 per session of physical therapy 3x a week.

And now, we'll need insurance from my job which we couldnt afford with both of us working (that's why we went with her's) but instead we'll pay for it out of just one salary.

We've been saving for two years to buy a house and we're watching it all trickle away.

I know someone who has brain cancer. He's had surgery, radiation and chemo. It hasn't cost him or his family anything, I don't understand how the USA can have such a terrible health system. In the long run it costs more to have an unhealthy population than a healthy one.
