> He just could move to Canada or Europe

You know it consistently baffled me that someone can look at a person who struggles to pay a hospital bill and think that moving to a different country is a viable option.



When the moving cost is 1/100th of the hospital bill. really? this baffles you? it's an investment.


First off, he ended up only owing $2,500.

Second, what is the break down that gets you anywhere close to $690 to move to Europe, or even Canada? Does that include the upfront costs of renting a place to live? Work visa? Passport fees?

For the VAST majority of people who are under-insured or completely uninsured, moving to a different country isn't even close to an option
