Has anyone had a family member go through a cancer fight with no insurance?

This crossed my mind. The problem would be family support. If it's Canada I can send my wife and I have family there that would at least offer some support, but not like her being with her own family. Since my youngest is homeschooled he could go with my wife too and at 13 can at least be some support in the house for those rough nights during chemo. I'm not sure if that is even possible. I'm assuming you have to be a resident for a period of time. It is one of the options I have on my list to explore.

I don't think going to Canada is an option.

When the conversation about medicare for all (particularly covering non-citizens) came up and everybody was making comparisons to Canada, I did a little reading on how their system works.

From what I read, don't expect to go to Canada for treatment of any kind. In fact, if you're going there, you might want to get a policy for health care in case of an emergency as they will expect a deposit and demand payment in full for services rendered.
