Everyone can afford $110 if they knew it was LIFE OR DEATH. But I too might avoid some expensive antibiotic if I thought all I needed was a week in bed and I’d be fine. Hell, if I knew I would die if I don’t take something I’d come up somehow with $100k. I’m too important to other people to die.
Poor thing. Poor family and poor students. They will be devastated and scared.
Yes, that is true, but regardless, she didn’t die because she could not afford it. She decided that the benefit to her was not worth the cost. Those are decisions that we all make every day. Whether it would have helped or not can never be known. In my case, I would have tried it, but she made a different decision.
