I 2nd, 3rd and 4th your sentiments exactly!

Being single with no one to help me financially, I am sinking fast. I just found out that my insurance has a "lifetime" maximum. What happens when insurance no longer pays any more, period?

I just read somewhere, when I find out where, I will post it, that many insurance companies have an open enrollment period where people can get their insurance plans with no questions asked. I don't know what will happen after they find out you are a cancer patient, but I hope to check into this further.

I had excellent credit before all this mess happened, and now I get phone calls daily from the medical profession harrassing me for more money. They do not like the amount I give them every month.

It does seem there should be some solution to the cost of this disease
