qwertyqwertyqwertyMy brother had hundred of thousands in medical debt before he finally passed. He had insurance. He was a teacher.
Flying SquidHow did he end up with so much medical debt?
Medical bills that insurance didn’t cover. Him and his wife didn’t share specifics with me, but my understanding is that he blew through the insurance maximums yearly for years. Leukemia is a bitch.
That sounds awful. I was at the Mayo Clinic recently and talked to a woman who was in remission from stage 4 appendix cancer. I can’t even imagine what that sort of rare cancer would have cost.
Isn’t the appendix removable?
I would think so, but after her husband started talking about “woke ideology,” I decided not to ask any questions. I am guessing she wouldn’t have been at Mayo if it were that simple.
