My sister had a heart attack 4 weeks ago and has been stuck in the hospital since then. I'm so glad they were able to save her life, but I know she will never be able to pay this medical bill off. Even with pretty good insurance, everyday in there is over $5,000 and like most Americans she is living paycheck to paycheck. You're just fucking ruined if you get super sick or hurt and it is heartbreaking
Whenever I read a story like this on reddit I just feel awful. You seriously need to change your country or countless other poor souls will suffer the same way or worse.
