Is there insurance a foriegner (American) can buy to cover cancer treatments any EU country?

A family member needs to go to Europe for a cancer treatment offered only in the EU. Is there any insurance we can buy to help cover it? Or is one country generally cheaper than another for cancer care? The procedure is pretty simple – but requires weekly visits for 36 weeks.

    You cannot insure something that has already happened. It’s a bit like trying to insure a car after it has been damaged.

    Are you absolutely sure that this is a reliable treatment? There may be a reason that it is only available in Europe? Otherwise you need to go the same route that you would use to finance health care in the USA when uninsured.

    sorry.
