I have insurance. Bill had brain cancer. I was the one who *had* a job five years ago. So my insurance paid 90% of thousand of doctors. I got six + inches of bill here which I can do nothing with. Bankrupsy here I come. According to the system I have no problems. I became bitter toward the end because the rent, medical insurance, utitlities, perscription, medicare premium, doctor visit, taxi to doctor, bleed me dry. To that add four hospitalizations. In the end I can barely bury Bill. Not that I am so poor, I had no resources due to non stop medical bill for he last ten years. In the end, my doctors waited until Bill was dead before helping me the following Monday. I now know I should have gone to my representative. Or screamed louder. I am not sure this is helpful info.
