I can't stop thinking about this story.

We live in a country where sick, financially strained people are arrested, humiliated, and pushed to the brink just for trying to get medical care that will keep them alive. features.propublica.org/medical-debt/w…
This father who was working two jobs at 70hrs a week with no health insurance has been arrested because he and his sick wife, who cares for his sick son, committed the unforgivable sin of...getting medical care.

They filed for bankruptcy and lost their home.
I am so thankful to @lizziepresser for writing this and to @propublica for publishing it, but it absolutely breaks my heart that they had to.

This does not happen in other comparable countries.
