Forgive me for bringing this up but health care for some of the victims in Aurora

[rurallib]

If we had universal health care there would be no issue.
But some of the victims will no doubt be uninsured.
Others more than likely will have caps that they will exceed.
Not sure what else may happen.

With all the other trauma these people have endured, will they potentially end up losing all they own to cover medical bills?

Am I making too much out of this?

1. No, you are not making too much out of it.

The medical bills for those critically insured could exceed hundreds of thousands of dollars, even a million dollars.

2. Any idea what happens then?

bankruptcy?
I am sure the hard right could give a fuck less.
You know - you make choices in life ........

3. Gov. Hickenlooper just did a presser and said they would be taken care of

and he knows it will be a long term situation. He was very good, we'll see.

4. All who were in that theater

Needs to get an attorney. They need to sue the movie house. Like home owners insurance, they must have it I presume. Did the fire door lock from the outside? This might prompt alarms on exit doors that are opened when on a timer. Alarms off when movie over. Red light, armed, green light go.

5. Those are good questions. Due to the national nature of the tragedy the under-insured will be

in a good position though.
