23. A catastrophic illness can break even the wealthiest person WITH Insurance.
Fri Jun 8, 2012, 09:43 PM

"Medical Bankruptcy" is a term unknown in civilized countries,
but will STILL be Big Business if the USA even AFTER all then provisions of the ACA are enacted.

It may even be bigger business as 40 - 70 Million Americans try to convert their mandatory "Bronze" "insurance" into actual Health Care.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
