The family of Canadian
freestyle skier Sarah Burke, 29, (get
details on her death) is working to raise more than half a million
dollars to cover her medical bills. Burke's (watch
videos of her) accident apparently happened at an unsanctioned event that
wasn't covered by her insurance (where
was she at the time?). A fundraising website (find
it) has been set up to help pay the huge costs.
World famous skier makes much more money than I ever did, I'm very sure of that, but chose to do something stupid. I'm sorry she died, I really am, but now poor people are being asked to contribute hard earned and much needed money to help pay money to wealthy doctors and hospitals to pay the bill of a well off person that died after doing something stupid (what makes her death an act of stupidity was she engaged in a dangerous activity that wasn't covered by her insurance).
The doctors and hospitals have a right to be paid but the greedy relatives should sell the assests of the deceased to settle the bills instead of asking people to pony up for the bills, then pocket the money once the estate is settled.
If one wants to help another, there is a 101 year old lady just recently evicted and there are families suffering huge debt due to a loved on being injured by a drunk driver or someone trying to rob them
or in countless other ways that weren't their fault.
