Common sense is not at all common. The fact is that if she had gone to the doctor, they would have had to hospitalize her and without insurance that burden would fall on you and me along with bankrupting her family. So I guess we should all rejoice that she didn't have common sense, since it obviously saved the taxpayers a bundle.
What on earth are you talking about? So she goes to the hospital and ends up with a $10,000 bill...so what? She pays it off over the next ten years. You're joking with me right? You think people should die if they can't afford to go to the hospital? You think her family would rather she die than bankrupt them? I'm glad you're not my family member.
Geez, you are absurd. Young adults do not get hospitalized for pneumonia unless they have other severe complicating factors.
She could have gone to a free clinic and gotten very low cost meds at Wal-Mart. The right meds, bed rest, and several return trips to a FREE clinic would have seen her through, if any of this is even true, and I have serious doubts.

Now you're just being ridiculous and more than a bit of a fool. What was your relationship to her? Why are you rubbing her death in people's faces?
As for the rest, it is utterly untrue that getting treated for pnumonia would result in weeks of hospital bedcare and bankrupt *anyone*. This is NOT factual, yet you hang everything on it. Stop lying.
Whoever put it in her head that she would be in the hospital for weeks, and incur a debt large enough to require bankruptcy, needs to seek a priest and seek forgiveness, because they are responsible in part for this young woman's death.
