I am not from the US. Had my close relative fight with cancer. If not for the government which sponsored it almost fully, excluding a couple of procedures like PET, it would cost our family a lot. Just for the scale: pial for one infusion of one out of three drugs would cost us $8k and my relative would’ve needed 16 infusions.

    Yeah, thanks for the explanation. I think I have a better understanding of the US healthcare system.

    As for the people, they are just parroting the media, nothing new here.
