That’s why I don’t understand why the American people don’t want Universal HEALTHCARE like Canada has then they wouldn’t need to worry about their finances and yes I know that we pay extra taxes to have it but it’s better than having to pay and worrying how you can pay for your medical expenses. I haven’t had to pay for very many medical expenses.

Hi Joanne,
Attached is Healthtree Financil Coach Program that should help patients avoid financial catastrophe or avoid treatments which are both undesirable. I do not know the source of your rumors, but there are many resources to help.

Healthtree Financial coach program

A very common concern with newly diagnosed Multiple Myeloma patients . 
Below is a new Financial Coach Program available at Healthtree. 
I have seen various team members struggle with financial issues upon diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma especially if they do not have Medicare or effective healthcare resources. You may want to check out Healthtree as they have a new Multiple Myeloma Financial Coach program. You can use your search engine to locate the Healthtree website. I hope this helps you and others on our team.
