I'm not even in US and I'm considering the same.. if the expenses go above some reasonable threshold, I don't see the point of me living enough to see my family dragged into poverty. I don't delude myself - it's not easy to do.

Even once you get treatment, the expenses might not be accessible until the bill comes in and you find out what your insurance company will pay for. After that, there's a sunk cost issue: once you've dropped (N*your current net worth) on treatment, what's the harm in continuing?
