Just curious..what if a situation happens like that with humans? What if someone has no insurance and needs medical care? But they can't afford it? |
Most vets are better than human doctors. When Lida got sick and had to have surgery the vet gave me a break on the price and a payment plan I could handle, I had been in the hospital earlier in the year with my heart and wasn't working at the time. I had no insurance, my med bills were over $65,000.00 for my heart surgery. They fixed my heart only because they had to, it had bothered me for awhile, but without insurance they wouldn't do a thing until it bacame life threatening. The worst thing was, because it was bad I couldn't get insurance, I had to stay sick until I almost died. Now, I will be in debt for the rest of my life trying to pay it back.
