Cancer treatments are a wee bit expensive. I had to go through my claims today and learned that one treatment (includes labs and chemo) costs $22K before insurance.
After insurance, the cost is $4K.
Right now, I've met my deductible and out-of-pocket (OOP), and next year, when everything resets, the cost of my first treatment will cover my deductible and most of my OOP.
I have no idea what people without insurance do.
