[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is completely true and they are American born and bread.   The mother, who is my close friend, suffered a terrible and sudden acute illness that had left her partially paralyzed.  It is beyond tragic.  I don't think I am outing them since they don't live in the DMV.  They have 3 elementary/middle school age kids and I know this is an impossibly hard time for them....  they have always had an easy and excellent UMC luxury life and I think this new reality is going to change all that and its too bad but they need to face reality.  It is a really terrible situation where the mom needs in home nursing now that she is out of rehab.  They have a nanny to help with the kids, but its just their lifestyle is going to majorly change and they can't face it right now at this moment.[/quote]

Sincere question: How is it that they have such huge medical bills that are not covered by insurance?

Is it the nanny costs that's stretching them financially? Won't insurance cover the nursing home and rehab? Our pretty crappy insurance is capped at $6K per family member per year.

I just don't understand.

I'm sorry about your friend's medical crisis, OP. That sound horrible and extremely stressful.

I don't think they have the right to ask for $$ before selling their weekend house or mortgaging their main house. But perhaps they are far more extended financially than you think (e.g. leased cars, both houses mortgaged, on FA at private schools, etc.). Some people who look wealthy are actually broke. [/quote]
