[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wiped out our entire savings on medical care and am not done paying the bills. I guess we’re lucky we had the money but, I agree it sucks to have to take a lot of money from savings. [/quote]

This doesn't just suck - this is emblematic of a much bigger issue.  House repairs, car repairs, that's one thing.  But sucking your savings dry and then some just to keep yourself healthy - that should not happen in a civilized enlightened society.[/quote]

What could be more important and valuable than your health? As someone with a chronic disease, I pay a ton but it’s worth every penny to keep me alive, to employ the highly skilled people who keep me alive, and to have access to the very best in technology.[/quote]

I think the point is that in this country, we let ill health drive people into bankruptcy.  That is unimaginable in much of the rest of the developed world. [/quote]

I had a health related bankruptcy at age 43. It’s insult on top of injury.[/quote]
