That's a crock

Maybe she pays it, maybe she doesn't, maybe she owes it for years until it gets written off and fucks with her credit,maybe a social worker shows up to visit her in the hospital to pull the funds from some other source. These are all CHOICES. Better that than than wait 6 months, as it gets worse, and have the cancer or infection or whatever get to the point of untreatable. And then DIE. Is LIFE worth it? Yes. Stop blaming others for the crappy generic situation and go get the tests done. Don't like taking any support funds from any other source? Maybe those genes weren't meant to continue. Pride is not worth life! For those that it is, then natural selection is still as work. You either work in the system and survive, or don't and go it on your own. Try living in the woods with NO medical access for a few years. Maybe then you will appreciate what is available to us now, even if it is rediculously expensive and the insurance companies are skimming huge chunks.

But maybe you DIE. Diagnose and then treat, with a possible large financial hit. Probability of living much higher, ie: the correct choice (for me). Don't give me any crap about the money owed or the house lost. Yeah, sucks, BUT BETTER THAN DYING. And to start off with, the initial tests might simply show something that can be either ignored or treated cheaply to start off with, but because she is delaying treatment, when she finally shows up at the emenrgency room it'll cost HUGE. And at that point it will be her fault. YES! It Will. BTW: I spent the final few months with my sister inlaw as she died an AGONIZING death. Lost my job over it when I refused to work from the funeral. She ignored blood in the urine. Bladder cancer. Very treatable if caught on the first symptoms. Of course she ignored it. But when metasized, it became a death sentence, killing in about 3 months once it hits that stage. Don't bother telling me I don't understand.
