[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to show my whole ignorance on the health care system & treatment in this country, but my mom passed away two years ago from the same cancer James had, but she was 74. She had treatments for two full years, plus multiple extremely long (i'm talking one stay was 5 straight months!) hospital stays during this time. My parents are completely middle class.

How did my mom get away with these cancer treatments and long hospital stays not bankrupting them? With the sale of the house after she passed, my dad now has almost 2M in an investment account, and he now lives with my brother. There were a few residual bills from the hospital stays for a few months after she passed but those are gone now. [/quote]

He did not disclose what kind of treatments he was getting, he specifically avoided saying, which is his right,  but it has been discussed that he was paying out of pocket for treatments that are not covered by insurance- aka, alternative treatments.  This is likely not what treatments your mother was getting.  Traditional treatments are covered by insurance.  If he elected not to have any health insurance- that is tragic, considering his assets and his ability to purchase good health insurance.  [/quote]
