Even with good insurance, medical costs in the US can exceed the savings of even the most thrifty.

My uncle spent $1.7 million in 3 years to care for my aunt, and that is with excellent insurance.

That’s way above any legal out of pocket max so I’m curious where most of that money went. Definitely wouldn’t call it good insurance.

My mom is fighting cancer and her medication is better than 25K a month, but she pays 200. That’s closer to my definition of good insurance.

I’m guessing they were using a course of treatment insurance refused to cover. Or it was nursing/residential care.

You got it. Nursing care.
