“In the wake of this loss, Kimberly and the children are facing an uncertain future,” the GoFundMe page reads. “The costs of James’s medical care and the extended fight against cancer have left the family out of funds. They are working hard to stay in their home and to ensure the children can continue their education and maintain some stability during this incredibly difficult time.
What an uncivilized shithole of a country. Civilized countries have single payer health insurance.
Absolutely right. Thank you for posting this, OP.
Either I’ve seen this type of thing before when he first went public, or it’s been some other famous person needing to do similar. Could be both, honestly. Leads to the same problem. Even money can’t save you in this kind of crooked system.
He already auctioned off a lot of his Dawson’s Creek memorabilia to pay his medical costs.
Good lord, you godless communists never think of other people! What about shareholder value?!
But seriously, as an older person, I hope I go quickly and quietly.
I’ve increased my cholesterol intake and signed my DNR’s.
Fuck me cant remember if he is a bad guy, a forgotten decent guy, or just a guy
He was funny playing a version of himself in “Don’t Trust the B**** in Apt 23”
Honestly, I completely forgot he was dead.
Edit: I guess I saw this article before seeing the one about him dying
To be fair, he’s only recently dead. Don’t feel too bad.
I guess I missed that news
The system is working as it’s supposed to. In the future, nobody will leave inheritances except very wealthy people, because they swallowed everybody else’s inheritance.
Nah, I’ll just do a cost-benefit analysis whether I should get treatment or just fucking die.
At the end, when he was out of money, and going to die anyway, and about to leave his wife and six kids broke, I’ll bet he wished he had ended it earlier.
If someone asked me “How much money would you pay to spend an extra year with your dad?” I don’t know if there’s an upper limit.
Of course, but that’s you. HE would probably rather you remember him when he was healthier, not slowly dying ugly, and use the money to make his grandchildren’s lives better.
Either way, you will grieve his loss, but one way leaves his offspring better off. Most Dads know which choice they’d make, even if their loving children would disagree. Good dads have to make the tough choices for their family.
