He has worked for the same company for close to 30 years, but to "young" to qualify for retirement. His health insurance has not covered much of the bills to date and he has been going through this for close to a year. He was receiving half of his pay through a company disability program but that is gone. He has gone through the 3 months of salary that it is recommended we all save. He is also worried that if and when he can go back to work will he still have a job, FMLA ran out a long time ago.
I have found resources for people that are ill and have a family, but I guess if you are single person and have worked hard your whole life and saved as advised your just SOL. Meanwhile, the medical bills pile up while you are just trying to keep a roof over your head and the heat on. Something has got to be done in this country about health care. NO one should have to become bankrupt to stay alive, and still have a little dignity left.
