James Van Der Beek, best known as the titular character on “Dawson’s Creek,” has died at 48, according to a statement from his family posted on Instagram.
I think this ought to put it into perspective. This guy at one time was a very successful actor in movies and TV, granted he wasn’t in much recently that I’m aware of. He was still estimated to have a net worth of several million dollars at the time of his death.
If he had to resort to selling his personal items to cover his cancer treatment, what hope do the rest of us have?
I’m currently staying with my well-off aunt and uncle in southern California, because my uncle just had open heart surgery in January. It cost them (and insurance) $460,000 for his surgery.
My aunt was diagnosed with and beat breast cancer a couple years ago. One of her regular treatments that she still needs to go in for every week costs her $6,000.
It doesn’t hurt that her parents were extremely wealthy and owned all kinds of land and property and left almost all of it to her and my uncle, but still.
