That's a common mistake a lot of young people in the US seem to make, and it's a critical one. I got appendicitis when I was in my early 20's, but of course me being a Canadian living in Canada the operation was free, as in there was no charge to me for it. But to those it happens to in the US who think like you that operation can run them into tens of thousands of dollars in debt, much more if there are complications that extend your hospital stay.

You guys do realize that pr0's "situation" is now 4 years old, it's over and done with, right?
There are several newer examples on GFY of people asking for donations due to lack of medical coverage. The ones that bother me the most are those that later turn out to be a hoax where someone is just trying to rake in cash by falsely tugging at the generosity of everyone here, and there have been several of those.
It's the very reason that so many here are jaded about helping anyone who asks for that kind of help. One now has to prove they are ill or have been injured before most will fire up the paypal or epass.
