Thomas, thank you for clearing articulating your nightmare scenario. Bravery and love of all us is shown so beautifully. Without burdening fellow readers, your story resonates with me deeply in my own way.
I’m so sorry for health challenge and our capitalistic profit driven medical system. Pay the minimum. When you reach Medicare, max out credit cards or at some point, file for bankruptcy like Trump, etc. You can keep house and car. Plan ahead by consulting a bankruptcy attorney. No reason that only the rich should benefit.
So very sorry and unfortunately not surprised. Thanks for sharing this. Hope it increases awareness. With the wealth of our country this is horrific. Really brings home the saying, your health is your wealth.....There but for the grace of God...
Having the courage to share your personal healthcare situation showcases the desert of affordable medical care for those with chronic illnesses. America stands alone in denying care for its citizens. Perhaps elections in November will bring needed changed. Best wishes.
I'm really sorry that this happened to you. I wish that we were focused more on the pricing factors of medical care than insurance. Other countries spend less on healthcare and have better outcomes despite claims that the U.S. has the best healthcare system in the world.
I applaud your courage in sharing your story. We need a government-backed universal health care system now. Full Stop. Only the greed of the oligarchs who determine public policy stand in the way. They must go.
Oh shit is about the best I can write in response. ACA was supposed to be the first step towards universal care but the R's have been single minded focused on bringing it down - something about socialism and freedom, the two words they use to obstruct policies that would do good things for everyone. Keep up the fight - and take care of yourself.
Im so sorry you are dealing with this. It is shameful that people can go bankrupt for just getting sick. I dont think anything will change until Republicans all lose their seats. They never wanted people to have healthcare. The fact they now want us to pay for the ballroom is insane!
We need our Congress to be filled with smart, competent and compassionate people who will prioritize health care. We should be able to do this. I hope we will. Best wishes.

What a joke that the US has the best healthcare in the world. It’s probably the worst among developed nations.

Wow. Your personal story helps people to understand, at a gut level, the inanities of our health “care“ system.
Thank you. And good luck.
