You may want to find a broker who can help you navigate your options. High deductible is usually good if you don't anticipate needing it. Good prescription coverage is a must. Some of these med can be very expensive. We have a high deductible but also a health saving plan that we've been contributing to for a couple of years now and can draw on it to pay for medical expenses.

Also consider going to NIH for the initial treatment. I think if you participate in the clinical trial, it's paid for but you would have to check on that. But once you get home, it's on you.

Blood transfusions, meds, frequent doc visits.
