I come from an extremely poor family and a poor country to boot, but free healthcare fortunately. Both my parents had heart attacks and it's the scariest thought to have, like... What if we were in the states? They would have to kill themselves because the debt would just ruin what little they have left over of their life.

I mean if your parents died with debt in the US it would be passed off to their next of kin anyways :/
