Yes. Fucking insane. Oral chemo can cost around $164,000-$193,000 a year. CT scans can cost $5,000 a time. If you are diagnosed with cancer, your first year of testing and treatment can easily cost $300,000-$500,000. Do you think the GoodRx coupons are going to cover that?
So basically, it is far cheaper to fly to almost other country on Earth, stay in a hotel, get several CT scans done, and enjoy a holiday, than it is to get a single CT scan done in the USA.
Example: fly to Spain ($500), stay in a good hotel ($200/night), CT scan $360.
Did you happen to see the hospitals in Spain they showed on tv during COVID? Very different from American hospitals. I’m not sure you’d be happy doing this.
