Reply #15: And if she were a US resident

And not fortunate enough to have employer provided insurance or enough $$$ to pay for her own health care she would have been pretty much screwed. Just ask any of the people who've tried to get health insurance and been told to eff off because they have "pre-existing conditions" or are "poor risks". Just having migraine disorder can get you blacklisted from insurance providers lists. If you aren't as healthy as a horse (IOW, if you aren't likely to only pay in premiums but never use the actual "services") you're likely to be denied coverage. Even if she'd had coverage she would have been lucky to get her needs taken care of. The typical insurer denies claims, particularly large claims like hers, to the fullest of its ability so the CEOs can maintain their multi-million dollar annual salaries.

I'm sick to death of BS propaganda like that ad.
