What would your aunt have done had she had a major heart attack while working so hard to pay off those bills? Or if one of her kids needed an extended hospitalization?

The fact is many middle income families are left destitute by major illnesses. There is no way a family of four making a median income can EVER pay off the massive bills that result from a major illness or trauma,000 in hospital bills. I don’t give a shait how frugal they are.

As to the cause of their illnesses who gives a shait if they contributed? Most Americans eat too much, smoke too much, drink too much or exercise too little. I guess we should toss them all under the buss too.

What total and complete B.S.

BTW my daughter hs had pancreatitis twice as a result of surgeries for other problems. She has never drunk alcohol. She tried for years to pay off her huge hospital bills but gave up after they refused to accept a payment plan and garnished her saving account where she had $3,000 saved for my grandson’s college.


I guess we should care for the fortunate and let the less fortunate die or be destitute for life.
