Libertarians don't say that you can't get cancer nor do they say that medical bills are too expensive. They stump for personal responsibility and charity in these instances. Basically, exactly what is going on. What you don't see in this situation is a group of people expecting their healthcare costs to be paid for by the government or trying to force others to be responsible for his problems. Personal responsibility and charity are tenants of Libertarianism.
Also, universal healthcare in the US isn't going to drive costs down nor is it going to do anything to actually improve care in the US for most people. The whole point against obamacare is that there are better ways to reform the health care system that involves driving costs down and improving the quality of care, not just making the incredibly efficient government responsible for it.
Lastly, your a tool for finding 'great joy' in someone else's cancer diagnosis.
