Generally speaking good healthcare (insurance) is going to cover the majority of the cost of the drugs for the person that has it.

Yes, assuming one remains employed and still has this great employer-paid health insurance while needing this hypothetical $70k/year drug while fighting leukemia.

I really do wonder though, since there's zero guarantee in the US that one would remain employed through all of this.

For posterity, the 70k/year is a real[1] number.

To be honest I didn't take that into account but I guess you're right.
