Ya - it's disgusting. If you're not filthy rich you're absolutely Fkd. They take advantage of sick/desperate people. And they don't even give a FK. They'll just let you suffer. Even if you have insurance they'll just decide they aren't going to pay for whatever medication or procedure. Nope. Sorry.
On a seperate note - have you seen that CostPlusDrugs thing Marc Cuban has? It's all over social media. Some of the claims are a little bit unbelievable. It's a generic drug company that only takes cash - no insurance. People are making these crazy claims that they were paying 5k a month thru their insurance provider and are now buying it off cost plus drugs for like $100/month cash (with no insurance). I told my sister about it - she has some prescription allergy med that was like $100/month thru her health insurance. She's paying like $9/month now (for the generic). So if what these people are saying is true, how it's it legal for these drug companies able to mark up these drugs so high? People are desperate and have no choice to pay it. You'll literally pay anything. They're preying on people. That shit should be illegal imo.
