Call MD Anderson today. They have a number of options and they will not let her go untreated.
I thought insurance companies couldn't discriminate because of preexisting conditions according to ACA. Not trying to get political, I'm honestly not sure how it works. If so, why not just sign her up for a high deductible plan?
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.
She's in Arkansas which doesn't subsidize so while they do have exchanges and that is an option it will probably be fiscally impossible. They can't deny you coverage, but they can sure charge through the nose for it and in states that are trying to kill the ACA like Arkansas they have done everything they can to reduce the effectiveness.
However, it is actually the first thing on my list to go through with her when I get there, so that may work.
completely talking out my bum, but is there anyway to go to canada or a Caribbean country for treatment?
