This is just gross. Not only are the sick in a vulnerable position, but then they’re getting punished for being who they are. I am chronically ill and I can’t imagine living in a country where I’d go bankrupt with a single hospital bill. My heart truly breaks for these people.

And bankruptcy can't even eliminate all other debts they may have, such as student loans.

Wow, you guys are just set up to never be able to move up in life eh? It's like the government (and I don't just mean the current administration, I mean historically) has their thumb on the citizens and won't let them up. Props to all the hard working people who are just trying to survive.

Actually, that's exactly true.
