I posted one like this several years ago. Almost identical situation. In that case, a guy worked all his life, then his wife fell ill and he lost his job. Suddenly, he was begging for national health insurance.

No clue why this guy didn't have insurance in this case. I feel bad for them, like I did the other guy, I really do. It's hard for me to hold a grudge against anyone in need.

But still, the responses are interesting.

90% of them simply offer prayers, which is fine. No that it will help her save her home or anything, but who knows, maybe divine intervention can help somehow.

The others mostly tell her to call a lawyer (yes, a trial lawyer to file a frivolous lawsuit I guess) or tell her to find a social worker to check into government assistance, which wouldn't exist if freepers had their way.

Oddly, there are no posts extolling the virtues of our health care system. No one asks why she didn't have insurance. No posts call her a leach on society.

I guess it's ok for freepers to use lawyers when they need to stop someone from taking all their assets to pay for their debts. It's ok for freepers to oppose government assistance for anyone except themselves.

Times change. Freepers never do.
