I'm not sure I see the difference in a guy loosing his job because he is sick and filing bankruptcy later because of his medical bills. In the end, it was the medical bills that took his house, his savings, ruined his credit.
It might not have come to such a end if he could have received decent medical care immediatly following the loss of his job/insurance. Once the insurance goes away you may wait on the Doctors until your really really sick. Then it's really really gonna cost you.
Not all medical care is free to the poor and hospitals can, will and have refused treatment. When the cancer clinics for the poor shut down because their out of funding the hospital isn't going to cover your chemotherapy. It's happening right now all over the country, people ARE dieing from lack of funded medical care. SOMETHING needs to be done!
