Following the revisions, your rider is removed. You will have to pay a portion of the medical costs.
For cancer, the medicine costs are expensive.

There are many issues with high medical cost but you can't just attack anything you don't like.
If the govt does nothing the premiums will go ip so high most will be forced to give up in their plans.
