I don’t think I can put it better than them. So I won’t, but I’ll add that any major medical thing adds immeasurably to the stress. Financial and otherwise.
For reference I own a fairly nice house and pay more than my mortgage for health care that barely covers anything. I am not at my max out of pocket (2/3s there) and could have purchased an economy car for how much I’ve spent on health care (past my premiums; not counting them.)

I had cancer last year and lost 25 years of life expectancy What I’m talking about is the stuff like, “Life today is so busy and hectic! How can we cope with the stress? We are all under constant pressure!” – but are we really? People watch 78,000 hours of telly Health problems, sure, they’re an adversity, but they’re also very normal, that’s the standard package of human life.
