I'm a type 1 diabetic, and the costs for all the supplies related to it are easily over 10k a year. Just the insulin is ~250$ / bottle, and I use somewhere in the range of 5 vials / month, so that's $15,000. Admittedly, I've changed insulins recently, so the price may be reduced, plus the insurance company certainly isn't paying the full cost. But still, that's just ONE of the supplies for my diabetes.
And then I had an operation this year (unrelated to the diabetes.... kind of), so that adds another 10,000$, give or take.
