I can see people running out of a $1M policy on quickly when faced with cancer. I have seen $2M cropping up but many insurers are trying to stick with the $1M cap with the most likely reason to avoid paying large amounts for limited additional benefits. Many people would pay $100,000 for five additional months. Most would not if it were their own money. The disassociation from normal financial decisions caused by a third party payer system is part of the problem. I find it fascinating (and scary) that some people want to solve the problem by further removing people from the financial portion of the decision process.
