Suman Dark in D.Gray-Man half-heartedly became an Exorcist to pay for his daughter's treatment.Black Jack invokes this a few times since Black Jack is operating illegally in the first place, he can charge any fee he likes, and some characters do indeed wind up doing things they never would have considered otherwise to pay the money.Her younger brother Mario is in a similar situation, but while she accepts Sanetoshi's Deal with the Devil, she later rebels against him and tries to get her other brother Kanba to do the same.
This goes double for Kanba, who has several shady contacts and a Deal with the Devil with Sanetoshi just to get the money for the cure.

In Hajime no Ippo, Alexander Volg Zangief comes to Japan to earn money from professional boxing and help his ill and poor mother in Russia.The title character of My-HiME tires herself out working in order to transfer her sick little brother to a hospital where he can be treated properly.Double subverted as he loses in the last round, but is still essentially given the money by another sympathetic competitor (his best friend Yugi). What motivates Jonouchi/Joey in Yu-Gi-Oh! for entering the Duelist Kingdom Tournament is to pay for a treatment for his soon-to-be-blind little sister Shizuka/Serenity with the huge reward.Whether it's working themselves to the bone, getting indebted to shady characters, participating in gladiatorial blood-sports, being a mercenary/hitman, selling their body, or plotting a Bank Robbery - love can inspire them to do all sorts of unusual things. Saving themselves or a dying family member/lover/friend is a great motivation for a character to do (morally questionable) things that they otherwise might not, especially if money-grubbing private hospitals refuse to treat people without insurance unless they're paid cash upfront (this does actually happen, sadly). Poor healthcare systems kill and ruin the lives of actual people, but are great fodder for the Rule of Drama given that working- and even middle-class characters can be just one perfectly ordinary accident (foreign body, broken bone, lopped-off finger) or medical condition (myopia, 'flu, diabetes) - let alone Soap Opera Disease - away from being completely bankrupted or dying. In countries where the healthcare sector is mostly or entirely run for profit, as a result of very poor or non-existent universal (publicly-provided or state-monitored) healthcare, healthcare providers and insurers prioritise profit generation over the survival and wellbeing of the population.
