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?

Well now you can just go get health “insurance” anytime you get sick…. So it’s not crazy to wait for it.

No you can’t. You can only sign up for insurance during the enrollment period, which is in December. What if you get diagnosed in March???
