Medical Bankruptcy

Guardian UK: Bankrupted by giving birth: having premature twins cost me everything - After Jen Sinconis had twins 16 weeks early, requiring millions of dollars to save their lives, bills drove her family into debt - Why does it cost $32,093 just to give birth in America?

The entire so-called Health system is corrupt from the top down. The health of Americans is not what's important to the Corps. that have captured it profits are all that matter.

I know, I have experienced it myself and it's cost me a lot of money. Three years ago I went through a very severe cancer screening and came out clear. Now I spent the good part of 2017 working through another cancer alert and I came out clear again. Somebody made a wad of cash on both deals and I'm the same before and after except for a few missing pieces of tissue, and a ton of grief, stress, and time. Older people are preyed on for these kinds of costly procedures and at the heart of it is fear of death and capitalizing on that fear. Maybe I should be grateful right.
