just because you can do it doesn’t mean that millions of other can.
Are you saying tough luck to those who can’t follow your example?
Nope, but I do expect some aspect of discipline.. not necessarily a ‘crap-load’. It is wrong to be self indulgent and then ask someone else to pay for it.
The final bill (delivered to his widow, but paid by MediCal) was over $700k. Would your self-insurance cover that?
Yes, and have money left over. I would check why the bill was so high though. $700k in two weeks is crazy – even with surgeries etc.
Or, if not… it’s worth noting that Cully was conscious much of the time; they just couldn’t fix his liver.
This statement makes me very suspicious of your example. The liver is the one organ on the body that is capable of healing itself. NOTE: as I mentioned before; I was sufficiently ill as to be jaundiced – this was due to a serious liver injury/infection (not hepatitis). The only cause for liver problems tends to be injuries through disease, drinking, genetics or cancer. You can cut a piece off the liver and it grows back. No other organ of the body can do that.
Would you have asked them to let you die when when the bill exceeded your savings balance?
If it looked like I was not going to recover, yes, I would be ask to be allowed to die. I have a DNR.
