Yeah that sucks. Young healthy people dont realize the terror that can happen when you have a chronic health problem and no insurance or ability to pay.
I know a young girl who was practically bankrupted by a car accident and I hear stories like that all the time.
People just blissfully cruise through life not realizing some health event can occur out of nowhere and financially destroy them for life. People assume its rare or that a certain "type" of person gets this or that. But just about anything can happen to anyone.
I am guilty of it too. Thank god I have insurance because now I am old and health issues are sneaking in and I am getting to see how crazy health care costs are. I easily have had seven digit treatments that would have crushed me without insurance.
Many people are not that fortunate. I hear about poor working class moms that get trampled and its so unfair, because they have the health problem, typically putting them out of work, and then debt out the wazoo to haunt them for life.
Glen Greenwald mentioned how when his husband got sick with some intestinal issue that eventually killed him, the insurance company tried to screw him every way possible before he died.
I am lucky enough to have good coverage. But I hate hearing about people expected to be a lawyer to comb through policies looking to screw them a dozen different ways when something actually happens.
Insurance is actually a pretty straightfoward, legitimate idea. But the way companies try to screw people is criminal.
The medical profession is guilty too, trying to bilk the patient and the insurance company too.
