Some else was paying for the rest he wasn’t getting that kind for coverage just for 180 dollars a month.

This is how insurance works. If I remember correctly, you get placed into a group. It's all insurance $ that's been paid in; he was simply unfortunate enough to *win* the cancer lottery.

Having been the recipient of about $3/4M of treatment that kept my little girl alive, I am grateful.

Having to make choices like he's having to make - that's just wrong.

“Having been the recipient of about $3/4M of treatment that kept my little girl alive, I am grateful.”

And having paid my premiums throughout the years without filing a claim, I am grateful to know it went to good use. It’s what risk pool is all about, and why insurance companies are not evil.
