Can a diagnosed cancer patient without insurance get one?
It seems like it’s possible, however, I’d like to know which company does that and what are the costs?

How about getting a job that offers insurance, usually you get the insurance right away no questions asked.
The purpose of insurance is to protect you against the possibility of something in the future not something that has already happened. You may be able to get on a group plan through an employer without a preexisting clause, but there is a good chance you wont. The only possibility is Medicaid.
I don’t think that is still possible. I’ve scoured the web and the closest I could find was cancer insurance. As it turns out, it will only be effective if an individual does not have cancer at the time of the purchase. Medicaid is a good option but there are some private physicians will not provide chemotherapy in their offices to patients with Medicaid as primary or secondary insurance. Believe it or not, there are even areas where doctors are under no obligation to treat Medicaid patients at all.
