Thanks for the responses. Even before his situation, the insurance industry was always a point of contention with us and I never hesitate to get on my soapbox to argue my disdain for everything. The lack of empathy from this country is sickening and unfortunately as my husband says we’re now stuck.

This has been a fun ride for us, husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer end of last year. Met the max oop for our plan very quickly and have everything on the minimum payment plan. Things reset in July and we returned from vacation (needed our son to have some normalcy) to a $1300 bill for his first chemo treatment in the new cycle. We asked if the oncology office will work with us so we’ll see what comes of that. It’s exhausting and I don’t know how people without insurance survive (although the current system is an absolute joke).
