Maybe the meme community isn’t the best place to ask but would cancer treatment not be covered by your health insurance in the US?

I keep seeing posts that people with long-term health issues have to pay for it themselves and that just feels like something you’d have the insurance for.

The powers that be decided to tie good health insurance to your job, which as a catch 22 is incredibly hard to keep if you have something serious that you would actually need the insurance for like cancer.
