The "cheapest" acceptable policy will cost somewhere around $15,000 for a single person, and over $20,000 for a family. Can that be true? I don't know what the average family's income is but I don't think most people can afford $20K a year.

If this is true, it's amazing. Someone who is uninsured and diagnosed with cancer that requires ~$200k per year in care can buy insurance for ~$15k per year, and drop it when/if the cancer goes into remission?
