Does it bother you that somebody you love died because they didn't have enough money to line the greedy hospital pockets?

Affordable health care? Why do they use "care" in the word healthcare? They always have an excuse why your loved one died but its rarely explained or even covered up about not having enough money to pay for existing procedures.

I am sorry for your loss.

Yes, it would bother me. As both a medical practitioner and a potential family member of a patient.

Prices of procedures are defined by hospital administrators based on costs they have to pay themselves including to insurance companies.

There are organisations in the US that can help with medical bills. Though I realize not everyone recieves or qualifies, more people must reach out to those organisations. It's the only available and direct solution now.
