This American has Stage 4 cancer and there is no cure
She has insurance but she just received a letter from her health insurance that they are not covering her treatment
“One chemo session costs $15,000”
“My doctor confirmed that I got approval from my insurance company before I started the chemo. I've been on it for a few months now — The insurance company suddenly decided that they're not going to cover the treatments anymore”
She has to get this $15,000 treatment “once every 3 weeks”
“Honestly, this letter feels like a threat. It feels like my life is being threatened and saying, we will not pay for your life-saving treatment feels like a threat on my life.”
We need to share these stories because one day this could be any of us
