This is one of the things that convinced me as a teenager that our entire healthcare system is fucked. My mom died of an aggressive form of cancer after ONLY 15 months of treatment. My dad, making an upper middle class wage in a low cost of living area with good insurance, was almost bankrupt by the end of it. He had to borrow money from his siblings to bury my mother. On top of that, he is the kind of guy that makes /r/personalfinance proud. If someone like him that shuns most luxuries and makes a top 10% salary in the US can have his bank account decimated in under 2 years, I shudder to think about the 90% of people that make less than him and have less self-control. As a society (US) we HAVE to solve this problem. Our healthcare system is a disaster from top to bottom.
