Outliers or tabloid stories, while in the US people do not get treatment because they cannot afford it.

Those US stories are outliers as well.

If a lot of people in the US can’t afford treatment, then why does the US lead the world in several cancer outcomes? If people were just dying for lack of treatment, that would make outcomes far worse.

Yeah, it's hilarious that this argument is used by Americans as many Americans die because they can't afford treatment [0]. They even pass away from the flu, because they can't afford going to see a doctor.
