I don’t understand the logic behind this. Nobody should have to die because of something as frivolous as money. The world is filled with money, but a loved ones health is a very special thing that nobody should have to suffer through. My wife’s friend needed a kidney transplant years ago, it took some time but he’s better now. I wish the best for you in finding a match and getting your friend the help they need to get well soon.

It’s so heartbreaking to me to hear these stories. If I lived 100 years ago, my wife and daughter would have both died on the delivery table during her birth. I thank science everyday for providing doctors with the tools to save the lives that they couldn’t before. If I didn’t live where I do, I would be financially destroyed from the help we received.

I agree that money is not evil. A system where someone might die because they can’t afford treatment is, imho.

I help pay the medical bills 35 million people everyday through taxes, so that people don’t have to live with the fear of not having enough money to get well. But this isn’t the time or place for that conversation.

I simply feel that good health is more important then a fat wallet, and that without one you shouldn’t be refused the other. Lives matter, not dollars.
