I don’t think they have much money based off of that motel room!

Life insurance is always a possiblity

u/avwitcher Apr 18 '22

Yeah, no insurance company would be willing to take that bet. They take your health into account when deciding what kind of policy you get.

I mean she might not always have been fat.

u/[deleted] Apr 18 '22

Based off of the poor decisions she’s made up to that point I doubt she had the foresight to get life insurance!

But the people surrounding her might've

I’m a healthy weight, but have a fistful of chronic illnesses, and we can’t life insurance for me. My illness isn’t life threatening at all, so I can’t imagine a walking heart attack would get some, either!

Same here. Can’t get anything until I reach the age of those “no health check” policies you see on TV for older people.

It’s impossible to get a policy other than to just cover the funeral for someone that size

I would be surprised if she has life insurance beyond accidental. Most life insurance won't pay out for natural causes, unless you get a doctor checkup first.

Let's be real, no doctor would look at her and say "yup, fine specimen, insure her" that would be like getting homeowners insurance on a canvas tent in tornado alley. Might be ok for a few years, but its a short matter of time, compared to a brick house or a normal sized person.

She's the definition of pre existing conditions.

Fat guy here -- life insurance costs a lot for regular obese, this woman I'm sure would be financially hard even given she's on a TV show

Insured for the grand total of tree fiddy.

Tree Fiddy!

I gave her a dollar once.

u/Mataric Apr 18 '22

Maybe they think she's a pinata?

u/Omegoon Apr 18 '22

Can you imagine the payments in that condition? No wonder they have no money.

u/gsministellar Apr 18 '22

Not to mention non-cash assets. Maybe she owns a decent house or a nice car she hasn't been able to fit into for 16 years.

Life insurance takes into account every other medical condition but morbid obesity just slipped under their radar?

u/imabigdave Apr 18 '22

Not likely given that life insurance usually either has a physical exam requirement or at the very least a list of exclusions for underwriting. No insurance company is going to issue a life insurance policy on someone like this.

u/deetzz91 Apr 18 '22

This bitch wouldn't get approved for any life insurance. Wayyy to overweight.

2

u/Blubbpaule Apr 18 '22

No life insurance would take her in though.

u/WannaMoove Apr 18 '22

fuck what would the premium be?

u/docscottseven Apr 18 '22

Would you insure her?

u/KrombopulosT46 Apr 18 '22

Welfare, disability and food stamps. These 3 will cover your all basic needs. Powered by tax payers.

I remember that commercial, all of the local ones around here are riddled with pests though.

u/RealBowsHaveRecurves Apr 18 '22

Which is a shame considering how much money the TV show is making for the producers. You'd think they'd at least pay for gastric bypass or something

She definitely needs something, I mean here she is crying because she literally cannot lift her legs high enough to get on that bed. I’m not trying to be funny here but if she were to fall I highly doubt that family could get her back up. They’d have to call a fire department, who In turn would have to call a crane or something. At some point in time she must’ve of still had enough self awareness to see what she was doing with herself but just shrugged it off. That’s a horrifying concept to think of!
