People have their own health insurance which should cover the majority of the costs. Anyone without health insurance I bet a GoFundMe is setup. Not sure what the purpose of your post is.

Many Americans do not get sick pay in their jobs. Health insurance does not cover losses due to missing work ..

Yes, this is true. I assume Apple employees will get some sort of workers comp. A few of those people probably have short term or long term disability through their employer. Those that don't have MA PMFL benefits at very least.

GoFundMe is not the solution to the healthcare crisis.

I wasn't trying to say it was. I was saying for this specific accident. People are like making it into this political thing that the system has failed them and like everyone there is like an uninsured person who makes minimum wage. Most of the people there probably have resources to tap into to cover costs. Can we worry about their health not their finances?

There are indications that people lost limbs! No way their health insurance covers 100% of expenses. Most insurance carriers pay a percentage of expenses and may have maximum payouts. Their bills are going to be high - through no fault of their own.

Have you ever had to use your own health insurance for really high hospital costs? This is not the way it works. Otherwise no one would be able to afford cancer treatment or surgery. Please google "out of pocket maximum." Maybe for dental insurance it works the way you describe.

My nephew was in a motorcycle accident and I can assure you that even with health insurance he is drowning in debt. Deductibles, percent pays, co-pays.
