I'm assuming from your username you're American. It's possible healthcare is different in other countries vs what you experience. A lot of this sounds like complaints about the American for profit health & pharma industry.
From a quick search it looks like comparable treatments for cancer in America are in the range of 2x to 10x in actual cost vs here in Canada, and that's before considering our single payer provincial health care systems cover most costs, funded by tax dollars. Might be a good idea to point this energy towards the inefficiencies in your own system.
Canada's system is by no means perfect or the best in the world, but somehow spends less than half as much per capita on health care ($5500/year vs $12000/year), and Americans are still required to have additional insurance to receive care in most cases. Even with this spending difference health outcomes are largely similar in most reporting I can find.
