A New York City couple jumped to their deaths from the 9th-floor window of a 17-story office building because they couldn't afford health care, according to their suicide notes.
The Daily Mail reports that eyewitness Perry Kim, 49, was outside the Murray Hill building at around 5:30 a.m. on Friday morning when he heard screaming and saw two people falling from the sky.
The bodies of 53-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were found shortly thereafter on 33rd Street between Park and Madison avenues, according to the New York Post.
Heartbreaking suicide notes were discovered in the pockets of both the man and his wife, who were apparently driven to take their own lives by the stress of mounting doctors' bills.
"WE HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE," the man's note began. "Patricia and I had everything in life."
His note continued on to describe the couple's "financial spiral," saying they could no longer live with their "financial reality."
"We both have medical issues," his note continued. "We just can't afford the health care."
"Our kids are upstairs, please take care of them," the woman's note added.
The identities of both victims were not immediately released.

Typical LIB losers . I laugh at their former lunacy.
I fought the law and the law won!
Why, so the can keep voting?
Maybe they’ll vote republican now!
I thought healthcare cost were supposed to go down, not the client!
Their last check bounced...
Their last check was way better than them....at least it came back...
>>It wasnt only about current expenses, though obviously they reached the end of their tether. Its difficult to believe they could not find a better path forward. Move, downsize, regroup.

NY megalomania. When the only place you can live is an armpit, fresh air is death.
It’s the sudden stop that keels ya!
The lesson for the “kids” is to spend far more than they should, and then commit suicide. Thanks for nuttin’ you loser jagoffs!
100 percent the fault of Obama and the Rat party and their vile Obamacare.
Thank a lawyer and a legislator.
Physicians compensation is a mere fraction of healthcare costs.
It's entirely possible to provide a lower cost health system, but not with myriad foolish rules, burdensome decision trees, liability exposures, and a patient pool that includes illegal aliens and others who have added no value to the system.
Um Hmm
Why didn’t they blame the Federal Government for the $200,000 they owed on their taxes? No doubt they were being hounded by the IRS, because that’s what they do.
I agree...disgusting
Most of them are not sad or angry about the couple. They are angry that the rich don’t pay for their health insurance.
Hey, people? You do not have to pay your medical bills. That is a worst case scenario but they give you years to pay them off. I guess it’s too late for them; there’s no cure for splat.
I see what you two did here and I am not falling for it.
I blame McCain, Graham and Murkowsky.
Congress is working on ‘InsuranceCare’ and ‘DoctorCare’ and ‘HospitalAdministratorCare.
As far as I can see no one in Congress gives a damn about ‘healthcare’...
The 'winners' with the ACA was inner city folks... the 'losers' were working class citizens...
The BIGGEST winners with ACA was suppose to be insurance companies (with the IRS set to 'collect from citizens' who refused to buy - but that was thrown out by the SC.) The other winners were people who ran the State and had the power of life and death over citizens... ACA was never about the needs of citizens.
