    Or it’s a feel good news story designed to make things seem less bleak. You know the ones.

    Child works crazy hours to raise money for her own cancer drugs.

    Mom takes second/third job, despite social services saying they will take her kids, but manages to save enough to pay for camp for one week.

    I imagine in this case, they likely didn’t have a concept of a billing system. They usually wouldn’t bill anyone as that’s not how the system is set up. Sure, there are funds moving around in the background, but it’s not from the patient.
