  • max out of pocket

    That's what I've been missing all this time.

    Bottom line is:

    If you have income above the poverty line, say $2k/mo, don't pay the insurance fee for some reason (the income is from something shady like onlyfans or etsy), you don't have a disability, and you're younger than 65 - only then you can get million dollars bill.

    Otherwise, cancer treatment could cost you up to $15-30k and sometimes even be free.

  • It looks like if a person is above the poverty line and is under 65 they will have to pay like 20% of the medical bill which could be insane, given they have an insurance. Otherwise most first line treatments are covered by Medicare and Medicaid Plan B.

    So if a person earns, like not insane $3k/mo, they will most certainly be billed with enormous bills and be refused to be treated again in case of relapse, just because they haven't paid the previous bill?
