Expensive co-pays...this is nothing new, smh!
It is no secret that it cost more to treat than cure cancer. People that don't suffer from cancer personally don't understand the cost that comes attached to it. Your last round of chemotherapy or even radiation therapy may not mean taking medication is over. For example, I have to take a maintenance therapy medication, hopefully for only two years. However, that is the choice of the oncologist it may be 2 years, 3 years, or indefinite. I know for a fact that my medication costs $10,000 a month, but thankfully I found an organization that will cover the remaining cost that my insurance will not cover. These services if income based as well so some people aren't this blessed but those of us who find these services can get cut at any minute if the organization gets cut. There is a link attached below that gives details of experiences. America needs to do better to help people to avoid medical debt situation. Why is it that there are several countries that are able to not only offer FREE college tuition but they are able to offer FREE healthcare.
