I agree it should cover them (in theory). I would even agree that healthcare should be a human right. But even under a zero profit model, for the cases where the treatment is so expensive, what would the financials look like for all the insurance payers? Is it actually even possible?



Lets make a non-profit model. Lets take entire USA.

350 million people. 50% chance of cancer. 175m will get it. Payment to make it go away is 10MM USD. Should it be covered?


You're setting up a strawman to prove your own argument that human life isn't worth preserving under some notion of 'logic'.


Yes, the idea that every human life is priceless is utter nonsense that needs to be disposed of.
