WTF? How sad is it that if you are unlucky enough to be a victim of a horrible tragedy, that you could end up in debt for life with garnished wages all all that. It's not enough that you got shot while trying to watch a movie, they have to add insult to injury by charging you millions. Fuk I don't have health insurance either. Sucks to know that if I ever get into a bad wreck I'll be forced to choose between bleeding out or going into debt, assuming I am conscious enough to make the call. How the fuk can someone be indebted like this for something they didn't choose?
Btw the guys wife just gave birth to their son in the same hospital a matter of days before the shooting.

While this guy will very likely have all his bills covered due to publicity (which is great), you do bring up a good point that people have an answer to but have no power to implement.

I don't get it, he doesn't have insurance, why should he get away without paying the bills?
If they invented a pill which would make you live for another 100 years but cost 1 million pounds, should they give it to everyone even if they don't pay?
He got shot at the cinema. That means he has luxuries in your life. IMO you shouldn't have any luxuries until you sort out things like bills and healthcare.
I'm from the UK, and we pay for all of this stuff in our tax. Yet we still manage to get by fine.

Terrible health care system, the costs are preposterous. Pay so much, yet get so little.

He's not gonna be in debt. The insurance company is gonna pay out some crazy dough with all these settlements. Instead of taking it to court and being even more costly, they'll just settle.
