you will still die from it and then your family gets to pay the tens of thousands of dollars in medical debt.  Hope they have a house or something to sell to pay that off!

Nonsense of course. I have a LOT of experience with that situation and I call BS.

The leading cause of bankruptcy in America is due to health costs. And most of those people had insurance coverage.

He was saying WHEN YOU DIE. I know for a fact that if you call those billing you when a relative dies 95% of the medical places will waive the charges. When my father passed last year I called around and had nearly 15,000 dollars in medical charges waived. I only ended up paying 250$.
