They’re in Remission, but Their Medical Bills Aren’t: Cancer Survivors Navigate Soaring Costs - KFF Health News The costs of posttreatment care are forcing cancer survivors to make tough choices. GOP proposals to bring down health insurance costs won’t help people who need constant care and monitoring, health p...

kffhealthnews.org/health-care-... Every time I read articles like these, I think about that famous "LOTR vs. Atlas Shrugged" quote regarding libertarianism, emotional stunting, and orcs. Cost of care is a real problem, but it's not solved by pushing the risk back on sick people.

Hennepin County Medical Center is an important statewide asset and must be saved • Minnesota Reformer Only in the United States are for-profit insurers and providers allowed to cover the wealthy and healthy — while the public is left to foot the bill for the costly and uncovered.

Commentary: HCMC’s financial situation was not caused by mismanagement or fraud; it results from a system that reserves basic health care for those who can afford it, leaving underfunded public hospitals to pick up the pieces, and taxpayers to pick up the bill. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/24/h...
