   Done. I don’t have much to spare, but what I can, I’ll throw her way to help make up for the obscene unfairness of having the system of your country saddle you with crippling medical bills because someone decided to commit a massacre and you had the bad luck to be there at the wrong time.

   Let’s get more people on this & see if the community can cover the lion’s share of the bill.

   I thought that the hospital was paying for the bills, what happened to that?

   @2 Doug Little:

   As I recall, victims were treated at multiple hospitals (five in total, I believe). Of these hospitals, only some of them (three I believe) offered to waive the medical bills of victims of the shooting. If I’m remembering all that correctly, then presumably this particular victim was treated at a hospital which isn’t making this offer.

   I am sorry to say that I can’t afford to pay my own bills nevermind anyone else’s.

   Otoh, I am a devious fucker and I would simply suggest shaming the hospital in question into doing the right thing–since they’re obviously too fucking stupid to see the PR upside of, “doing the right thing”. I think a letter to the editor of the RMNews would get the ball rolling.

   Of course the other question in my mind is, “If the KKKristian GOD is such a loving diety, whyn’t he pick up the tab?”.

   It wouldn’t roll very far: the Rocky Mountain News ceased publication three and a half years ago.
