I don’t think you know how healthcare works. It’s not a magic potion that’ll fix severe injuries. Sometimes your doctor will simply say, “Not much we can do.” If this person does live in the U.S. and hasn’t worked in years then they are likely on disability. In which case their healthcare costs are free or much cheaper.

MassHealth (Obamacare's predecessor) saved my life. I would have been screwed financially as I was a freelancer for years and paid my own health insurance.

After I started having grand mal seizures, work as I had known and loved for decades was no longer possible.

Anyway, blow me.
