I can’t believe my eyes
This American has Stage 4 Cancer, his insurance decided to no longer cover him. He went in for his chemotherapy anyway and received the bill
It’s $40,559.19 for one treatment. “One treatment, one doctor's visit and one blood draw. This is what I owe the hospital in order to go back. This is one visit. II'm not going to be able to do this for very long — No insurance. Still waiting”
For those unaware of this man’s situation he had insurance but was informed it was being cut off, he appealed
The average chemotherapy session in America can be anywhere from $2,000 with insurance to $15,000. A full course of treatment can easily cost up to $200,000
There are even documented cases of chemo drugs costing as much as $15,000-162,000 for brand name immunotherapy drugs in America
We need healthcare reform and we need it right now
For fun I looked up how much this would cost in Mexico it’s roughly 400%+ cheaper with sessions as low as $1,500 bucks….
These stories need massive attention because this could be any of us. Today it’s him, but tomorrow I can be me or you or a friend or family member. We need healthcare reform immediately
