No, some people are being charged. And it’s bad. A friend got out of network bills but he was not allowed to travel back while he was ill because he could not get on public transportation and was too ill to drive himself. |
That is horrible about your friend. No matter what the illness, that type of situation (involuntarily going OON due to severity of illness) should be an exception for out of network charges. |

I can't even imagine what the medical bills must have been. He was on ECMO for weeks and in ICU for months. If he had lived, he would have been minus a leg and would have needed a double lung transplant.
I think criticizing Amanda Kloots right now is pretty gross and unfair. Her husband's decline and death was the stuff of nightmares. I'm sure there were worse Covid battle stories out there but his was one of the most awful I heard. She has to go on for the rest of her life without him and support her kid. And he was only 41 so there was no real reason to expect him to be one of the fatalities, except that he was. The whole thing was just so awful and hard to get your head around. I can't judge her for her responses. |
| She (Amanda) herself said numerous times on Instagram that she was not being charged anything for his hospital stay because it was Covid-related. She definitely mentioned this several times. The Go fund-me did not go to hospital bills. |
They were in the process of renovating a home in LA when he took ill. Hard situation. |
I have been following Amanda's journey on IG and the home renovations turned out really nice from what we the viewers could see. I wonder though if she is still living in the home. The house you see in her recent IG stories and posts does not look like the same house. |

I defended Amanda on this thread. I think she has every right, and probably need, to make a living. But I think less of her after this: https://people.com/tv/amanda-kloots-responds-dating-again-fast-nick-cordero-husband-death-the-talk/
So gross she felt the need to announce this in the first place. |
She’s damned if she does, damned if she doesn’t. Had she kept quiet people would have found out and blasted her. Better to reveal on your own terms. |
Paps aren't stalking her. She could have kept this quiet for quite a while if she wanted to. |
| I am still so annoyed that her gofund me raised a million dollars. Why did she need that money?? I wonder what she used it for? I don’t think someone in her position needed that much money after losing her spouse. She should have donated to other families in need who were impacted by covid. |
She didn’t have a contract at the time with a major network talk show and her husband was the main bread winner. He was in the hospital for months and lost a leg and had extensive care. Have a heart. What does it matter to you? Also, she’s beautiful and youngish and shouldn’t have to live out her days as a widow wit no love. Live and let live. |
| No judgement at all towards her for dating again but if you are going to put your life out there on social media you can't be too surprised/angered when people make comments you don't like. Obviously her social media presence has been a positive thing for her personally and career-wise, but dealing with comments that aren't universally positive is the trade off. |
| She seems pretty opportunistic. Maybe she has to be. But the sister seems even worse, Instagram posts on her grief with her corporate sponsors tagged... |
Harpies. Wow wish her happiness.

I’m sure mortgage/rent has to be paid and she had a baby at home. Have a heart people. |
