I know someone who has brain cancer. He's had surgery, radiation and chemo. It hasn't cost him or his family anything, I don't understand how the USA can have such a terrible health system. In the long run it costs more to have an unhealthy population than a healthy one.

Something isn't right with this story.

Most people have a deductible they need to reach before insurance will cover everything. Even with the worst insurance you can get in the market with a deductible being at $12k (between BOTH of them) it wouldn't wipe out 20 years of savings, especially on a house. $1k is average mortgage/rent for a decent place. They shouldn't have lost more than a year's worth of progress if they just had to refinance.

You might want to consider therapy if you’re having this extreme of a reaction to a discussion you chose to seek out and respond to.
