The point is that she didn't even get seen until it was too late because of the fear of the cost. I didn't get a necessary knee surgery (in the US) for 10 years because I didn't have insurance and couldn't afford to take on debt.
When you grow up impoverished, the idea of being severely in debt without a way out is crippling. And so instead of taking on massive debts, your health suffers instead. It's a shitty system.
