1. Please tell me

that you have insurance and don't have to pay that entire $100,000!

I had 8 chemo treatments at roughly $24,000 a pop...$192,000. The oncologist received an agreed amount (not nearly what he charged) from my insurance and I paid $40 for each treatment. I figure that the oncologist claims a loss to the IRS for every penny the insurance and I don't pay.

What worries me is all of the uninsured and the people that don't have good insurance coverage. Are they billed $24,000 per treatment? What do they do?
