One interesting tidbit I picked up while surfing the other day that appears germaine to the conversation at hand:
Between 45-55% of all bankruptcies in the US are related to medical problems / illness.
Of those bankruptcies, over 75% of them had medical insurance at the start of the illness.
Read About It Here.
Makes you wonder what the point of insurance is if they're just going to take everything anyways, doesn't it? ... and don't forget, the
new bankruptcy bill is being pushed hard, so that if you file for bankruptcy due to an illness you could lose
everything.
Moral of the story: Don't get ill in the US unless you're rich.
