Have you considered finding a new employer? That $19K in after tax health insurance is brutal on your income.
I am about maxed out for my profession (construction estimator). I’m a Chief Estimator for a mid-sized company that only works me about 35 hours a week and I’m close to home. I could go work for a larger company but would have to work many more hours (55 a week) and be further from home, but after having done that for 25 years, when I was diagnosed with cancer, I promised myself I would never do it again. I want to spend more time with my family, in case I don’t have many years left.

You may be eligible for a 401k hardship withdrawal due to the medical bills. You maybe be forced to make your case but what you stated here seems exactly why it was created. It’s probably a taxable event but no additional penalty.
Might be worth investigating.
Sorry about your situation.

I get it, but if you do have time left, you and your family are looking at financial ruin on this pace. Your follow up posts make it clear this is not a one time fix to your past problems, but an ongoing problem.

I get the spend more time but you also don’t want to saddle your wife with debt if you die. 35 hours isn’t much. Maybe look into a part time weekend job, shift work you can do at a time of day where your family may be busy anyways
