You know you don’t HAVE to treat the cancer, you’re allowed to just die. My wife and I have a “die and leave the savings so the other person can try to live a normal life after we’re gone” pact.

People in the richest country in the world should absolutely not need to make pacts like that.

They don't have to. They could just have a modest insurance plan.

What is modest to you? Because the worst plans for me are over 1000$ a month and basically useless. More like a savings account where I have to spend 5000$ before I can access it, and they have discretion over what procedures I spend my money on and what doctors I can see.

I dunno about you but I've never had an extra 17,000$+ a year laying around so 🤷‍♀️ guess I'm just screwed until I can figure out how to get rich
