Americans burn through life savings to pay for cancer treatments

Note to reader: the COVID-19 bioweapon injections campaign has achieved a number of favorable outcomes for the Great Reset architects. As we can see from the article below, while the injected victims slowly die, they can be financially bled dry well. In this manner, all the money they saved up for retirement can be transferred back to the corporate hierarchy that engineered the injection campaign in the first place. Population control can be very profitable for those who are in control.

It’s interesting to see how certain inexpensive treatments such as the use of fenbendazole and ivermectin have been marginalized and eliminated in favor of poisonous and budget busting options. The reason why supposed horse dewormers such as fenbendazole and ivermectin have been shown to be effective in a number of cases is because their mechanisms of treatment sever the parasite’s and cancer cell’s metabolic mechanisms.

“Turbo” cancer cells, the type found in injected patients, and body parasites have one characteristic in common; rather than using fat molecules, they both primarily utilize glucose for energy. Fenbendazole and ivermectin sever this mechanism and both the turbo cancer cells and parasites slowly die from starvation.

Amongst the sundry supplements I take on a daily basis, I also take about 440 mg of fenbendazole powder, four days a week with a fatty meal. Although I was never injected, I did catch covid-19 early on. Moreover, my wife dutifully received her bioweapon to keep her job, while cancer has traditionally run rampant in my family.

Here’s the link to the fenbendazole manufacturer that I use.

https://www.fenzol.com/product/fenbendazole-bulk-powder-250g/

In my research, I have found this manufacturer and this form to be the least expensive. Currently, this package costs only $179 USD and that’s much cheaper than anywhere else.  Their customer service is rated highly as well. I receive no compensation from them, but pass along this link in case you are interested. This 250g package should last me about two years when properly stored in an optimal environment.

Some baby boomers are burning through their retirement saving to pay for cancer treatments. Then they have to go back to work.

  • Some older Americans are sacrificing their life savings to pay for medical treatment.
  • It means they can’t retire and are struggling to pay their bills or afford groceries.
  • Social Security, insurance, and their life savings aren’t enough.

Kimberly Mullen, 61, is couch surfing.

She drained her bank accounts paying out of pocket for cancer treatments for two years, waiting for Medicare to kick in. Plus, her mother had cancer at the same time.

“She didn’t survive, but I did,” Mullen said. “But it cost us our home and all of our life savings and everything — I’d say right around $400,000 between the two of us.”

Mullen now makes $10 an hour cooking part-time at a truck stop in rural Kentucky. She drove trucks for 38 years before her diagnosis and would like to get back on the road, but she’ll have to pay for more training. She can’t afford a home, and she needs a local address to qualify for affordable housing. She’s worried she’ll have to work until the day she dies.

It’s a story all too familiar for some older Americans: An unexpected health crisis derails their retirement planning. With insufficient help from health insurance or Social Security, medical bills eat up any savings or income they have.

“People who are very wealthy, their savings are basically self-insurance,” Nancy Altman, the president of advocacy group Social Security Works, told Business Insider. “Healthcare costs in this country are higher than anywhere else in the world, and we pay more for healthcare.”

Americans over 65 often have two options for health insurance: private market or Medicare. The former is too expensive for many, and the latter can come with high out-of-pocket costs.

It’s another example of how the retirement crisis is playing out among America’s older residents — and a sobering warning for younger workers as retirement savings gaps widen and cancer rates rise.

A collection of medication tied to cancer treatmentSaul Martinez for BI

The American Cancer Society estimates over 2 million new cancer diagnoses and about 600,000 cancer deaths this year in the US, though the cancer mortality rate has fallen since 1991. About 40% of people with a cancer diagnosis deplete their life savings within the first two years, while cancer survivors are 2.7 times more likely to file bankruptcy. This particularly impacts older adults, who are more prone to many cancers and are often ineligible for clinical trials.

Plus, Dr. Karen Knudsen, CEO of the American Cancer Society, told BI that financial limitations can hamstring a patient’s recovery. “What is very common is either skipping doses for cancer therapy or halving their doses so they can extend the time which their current prescription will allow them to stay on the drug or therapy.”

Dozens of older Americans told BI in recent months that their Social Security and pensions aren’t enough to get by without working. Some said they have to rely only on Social Security due to health issues, while others said they’ve taken jobs at Walmart, a hospital, or with Uber to supplement government assistance.

For this story, BI spoke to 10 older Americans with health issues. Most of them said they’re scraping by due in part to high medical costs. Many have sacrificed vacations, home repairs, or even medical appointments to make ends meet.

“It could happen to anybody overnight,” Mullen said. “Your life could be turned upside down in a split second because you never know if you’re going to get sick or you’re going to get hurt.”

Medicare doesn’t cover it all

Wendy Jones applies a bandage to her husband’s backSaul Martinez for BI

Wendy Jones, 71, is a mother of four who has dealt with various forms of cancer since 2005. For over a decade, she was the family’s breadwinner, earning between $70,000 and $90,000 yearly as a paralegal while being a caretaker to her husband, who was injured in 1992 in a workplace accident.

When she was diagnosed, finances became a major struggle. Even with insurance, medical payments were hundreds of thousands of dollars each month. Surgeries, ambulance costs, medications, and other emergency expenses have eaten away at their 401(k)s and savings. Recently, they lost their Medicare Part B — she suspects it’s because she put money her mom gave her into a savings account, putting her assets over the eligibility threshold. Now she’s struggling to afford groceries and essentials.

Jones, who gets $2,200 a month in Social Security, has had to take on part-time work, which made her ineligible for some federal assistance.

“It’s a catch-22: People say, just get a job, but I tried that, and everything else was taken away from me,” Jones said, noting she will work as long as she can drive, walk, and answer phones. “I didn’t get ahead. I wasn’t able to save or progress in any way whatsoever.”

Retirement expert and researcher Teresa Ghilarducci, who chairs the economics department at the New School for Social Research and directs the Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis, said that Medicare is leaving retirees who aren’t in poverty but still aren’t staying afloat in a tight bind.

“If you are in the top 10%, your own wealth can take care of those long-term care needs, but it’s the middle that is having to go without the care they need or exhausting all forms of wealth or home equity or going into debt to pay for it,” Ghilarducci said.

An analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that, in 2022, Medicare households spent $7,000 on healthcare; non-Medicare households spent just $4,900. Healthcare spending also made up a greater share of Medicare households’ spending.

That was the case for Rebecca Buffum, 74.

Buffum, who works in healthcare, had expected retirement to be a smooth, easy transition. But a cancer diagnosis and multiple years of treatment bulldozed through those plans.

She paid for chemo out of pocket, spending her way through her retirement savings and maxing out her credit cards. She racked up what she estimated was around a million dollars in medical bills and ended up declaring bankruptcy.

Though she’s in remission, she’ll have to keep working. Her Social Security covers her mortgage and not much else.

“I am blessed that, number one, I’m still alive, and number two, that I have the capacity to work,” she said. “It’s a double-edged sword.”

Making sacrifices and setting a strict grocery budget

Health issues lead some older Americans to skip medical appointments, sacrifice the quality of their diets, and quit their jobs entirely. It means that their illnesses are taking more than their health — the fabric of their lives is changed entirely, leaving many lonely and without the creature comforts that can make life enjoyable.

That’s a far cry from the vision of retirement many had — and it shows the very real impact of the cracks that some of America’s seniors fall into. They might spend their lives living middle-class, only to slide into poverty in their old age.

When Marion, 70, quit her job in restaurant management due to health issues, she cashed out her 401(k) early and moved in with her sister and her sister’s boyfriend to save money.

To supplement the $1,200 in disability she received a month, she started cleaning houses and selling her art.

Like many baby boomers BI spoke with, Marion cut back on discretionary spending like vacations, dining out, cosmetic treatments, and new clothes purchases. Others have drastically reduced spending on necessities like healthy food.

Robert Papalia, 74, has capped grocery spending for himself and his wife at under $100 a week, rotating through 30 credit cards to afford all their health and housing repair bills. He retired early in 2010 because of his wife’s health issues, living on his company’s pension and Social Security but struggling to afford medical bills and high property taxes.

“Do we have money in the bank? Yes. Is it a lot of money? No,” Papalia said. “I look at my wallet at the end of the day, and it’s a difference between night and day.”

Leonard Bianconi, 67, can’t afford to go out to eat or buy many groceries on his SNAP benefits, so he relies on food pantries. He finds fruits and vegetables often on the precipice of going bad — a major challenge for Bianconi, who’s diabetic and needs a fresh diet.

“Right now, I have no extra money to do anything. My life is pretty lonely. I don’t have any money to go anywhere. I can’t really do things. Even going to the cinema would be difficult,” Bianconi said.

Feeling grateful and clinging to hope

Wendy Jones, and her husbandSaul Martinez for BI

Many of the older Americans who spoke to BI said they’re remaining as positive as they can about their futures, with some expecting their conditions to improve.

In fact, Gallup found three in four retired Americans think they have enough to live comfortably, even though 45% of non-retirees anticipated coming up short by the time they retire. About 58% of retired Americans noted Social Security is a “major source” of income in their retirement, compared to the 35% of non-retirees who expect Social Security to be a large portion.

Monique Morrissey, a senior economist at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, said that while more ambitious proposals to reform long-term care haven’t passed, the Biden-Harris administration has still made a dent in other pressing issues.

“In a much more limited way, they have done a lot,” Morrissey said, pointing to the administration’s success in lowering prescription drug costs. “There are some things that they’ve sort of been patching when they can, when they can get Republicans to go along with it, but there are other big gaps in our patchwork system that still need to be addressed.”

Frank Amend, 63, was working as an engineer and marketing manager when he experienced chest pain two decades ago. Weeks later, he underwent a heart catheterization procedure, followed three years later by a triple bypass.

His insurance covered most of his expenses, though he still took a hit. He recovered fast, and he returned to work in 2006. He said he “works for my healthcare” and acknowledged he’s “one of the fortunate ones who can retire at 65.”

Amend recalled standing behind a man who broke down in tears at the pharmacy when he heard his wife’s prescriptions would cost $700. From that moment, he knew he wanted to get involved in advocacy work, collaborating with the American Heart Association to assist survivors struggling with medical bills. He helped pass a bill in North Carolina banning smoking in all bars and restaurants, and he’s spoken at presidential healthcare task force meetings.

Amend said it’s crucial for older Americans to believe everything will be OK, noting “your mindset perpetuates what your outcome will be.” Still, he said he’s playing a small but important part in working toward healthcare equality, given many medications still charge sky-high prices and many Americans are uninsured.

“The people working two or three jobs to try to put a roof over their family’s head and food on the table, they can’t afford healthcare,” Amend said. “Thank God for Obamacare, but in some cases, it just doesn’t cover it.”

    This guy being interviewed sounds a lot like the people on this blog. I think it’s worth a listen. To the unwashed and stupid christians, he sounds like their enemy. To the small remnant who frequent this site however, he’s speaking the truth.

    John 8:32

    My fellow Caucasians need to wake up for the love of God Yahweh, because you are the Israelites, and the enemy is coming to kill you. The lukewarm sloppy agape Christians are going to be thrown under the bus and cast into hell. You Pauline turncoats are nothing but chaff that needs to be burned. We are separating the wheat from the rest.

  4. Meanwhile, across the pond in England, tenant landlord laws continue to burden inexperienced landlords. Many of these regulations will be coming stateside under a Harris regime.

    Here’s a piece of advice to my fellow Caucasian landlords; only rent out to like kind white people. Do not rent out to people of other races. Do not rent out to non-Adamic man.

    When SFR landlords screen applicants, it’s much easier to select applicants based on race than when we own apartment buildings. I rent out my properties for slightly below full market and always have multiple applications. In this manner I always get excellent and respectful tenants..

    I will never rent out to a non-Caucasian anymore. I do not want the race card thrown in my face if it comes time to non-payment and eviction of a tenant. The wonderful thing about how I discriminate is that they’ll never know, because there’s sundry excuses that I can use to shoot down any applicant I choose.

    I always meet the applicants in person anyway, and can tell quickly on if I’m going to be able to work with them. If we rent out to like kind people, I’ll doubt very much that we’ll have any issues as a landlord. This is why I have been selling my PGC properties.

    Over the past 25 years of my property management, blacks and foreigners have become much more difficult to deal with and hostile overall and have less respect for the landlord, especially if they think he is an evil white man. It’s not just the landlord we have to worry about now, the governing authorities will view the Caucasian landlord as an evil White supremacist.

    The ONLY way to cure any disease is to reverse the cause. Disease is caused by
    1) Malnutrtion

      1. This was never repealed. How did Moses know which beasts to eat and which to not? He was told by Yahweh himself. Moses knew all about a proper diet before anyone else, especially the demonic religions at the time. Daniel relied on levitical law when in captivity to remain healthy.

        The books and scriptures we call the Old testament are still in effect, except regarding the sacrifice, since Yahweh in the flesh Jesus provided us with the perfect one.

        The stupid Christians are toast and allowed their Nations to be overrun and only refer to Paul and the beatitudes. They are the laodiceans and will burn in hell for selling out their fellow like kind man in order to get along. They are perfidious and are the chaff to be burned!

        My blog is to help the 1% of the planet who hear these words and understand. May father Yahweh in the shed blood of Jesus the Christ help and save the remnant!

        A lot of blood will soon be spilled and make it in your hearts to accept this. The force majeure is coming soon by the second half of 2027. The tribulation period will not save us and we will not be whisked away. Anyone believing otherwise has once again, been deceived.

        1. Yes! The so called old testament, barring the sacrificial system mainly, is still Truth and active and to be followed. They Word is Truth!

      2. The term Jew was added to the Bible subsequently and is used in place of Judahites.

        The only bright spot with all of this is that everything that we’re talking about will soon be revealed. But it means a terrible loss of life must come first.

        Now we can see how the fire and brimstone preachers like Chuck Lawson are completely out of his league. He’s been pounding on the table for years about how the Old testament was written for the Jews and was done away with. What a deceived idiot!

  6. The cancer treatments done by the medical profession do a lot more harm than good. The treatments weaken the human body making it less able to fight cancer and other diseases. They come with dangerous side effects.
    At the end of the day, the treatments do more to promote cancer than fight it.

    Stay away from the medical profession if you can. They bleed you dry financially and physically.

  7. Just another reminder why Caucasians must stick with Caucasians. Blacks vote >90% Democrat regardless of whatever the party promotes. It’s in the their DNA. I know this first hand. There’s nothing worse than when an inferior people are propped up by the Jew synagogue of Satan to demoralize and cudgel the majority.

    Except: The study, titled “Durably reducing conspiracy beliefs through dialogues with AI,” attempted to counter the common view that some people will not change their minds, even when presented with facts and evidence.

    Addressing the problem of “widespread belief in unsubstantiated conspiracy theories,” researchers postulated that conspiracy theories can, contrary to the scientific narrative, be countered by way of systematic fact-checking.

    Among those theories tested were more traditional conspiracies such as those involving the assassination of John F. Kennedy or the possibility of alien landings that were known to the United States government.

    But others included more immediately politicized claims, such as the lawfulness of COVID lockdowns or the validity of the 2020 presidential election, both of which are a “major source of public concern.”
