People have separated themselves from paying for their own and their families’ medical bills so completely.

This loaded statement of mine bears an addendum. When people who are willing to pay for their own equipment and meds find out the real cost, it is a shock. Much of the cost comes from others’ unpaid bills, and the inflated cost the insurance companies are willing to pay.
She wouldn’t have had medical bills at all if she hadn’t put herself out for some man lying in the road in need of CPR. Shall we create incentives to step over the man and keep walking? This is one case where the state should pay the bill. Yank the cash from some welfare queen if necessary, but no one should step over a dying man just to avoid medical expenses for helping. If you were lying on that road in need of CPR, you’d be the first to change your mind.
