Try finding a cancer clinic where foreign born doctors are not majority. Cancer treatments is a booming lucrative business. My cancer patient wife was billed $32k to 37k every MONTH from 2017-2023. Without Medicare advantage insurance we would be flat broke.

Sorry to hear. We also both have Medicare Advantage PPO. It has helped on the hospital end of things.

Wow, that's a lot. When I had cancer in 1996 my insurance company was billed less that 100k for six months of treatment. Of course, 1996 was practically the dark ages in terms of medical billing. I suppose it didn't hurt that the medical group and the HMO were owned by the same group of doctors.
