    My mom had a spinal fusion in the 90s which she got in debt for.

    About 15 years ago my lung spontaneously collapsed. Several surgeries later, the bill was $315,000. I was on Obamacare because of the mandate, thank god. I paid $19.

    My mom found out and told me I “deserved to go bankrupt” because people like her had struggled for so long with their medical bills.

    I don’t speak to her anymore
