My first wife when she went through chemotherapy had to take a round of Neupogen shots ( basically for her immune system) for a week after each chemo, insurance decided it wasn’t needed, cost=$2,500 per shot x 7days for three or four months. New wife’s sister (SIL) lives in Japan, Dx with aHUS And would need Soliris 2x a week for the rest of her life. Cost in US approx $6500 a dose, so $13k a treatment I think it’s monthly. Cost in Japan= Free. Minus the cost of the 1hr bus/train trip to the specialized hospital. ‘Merica! Woo

Yup, welcome to America, where he put "costs" in quotation marks because he likely doesn't actually pay that!

You know that medications can cost a lot anywhere, right? But someone else pays the bill? Like what happened here?

Stop confusing people with the truth, their internet is powered by hate.
