Nah, he could just pick up and move to another state! Because surely he can’t be advancing that particular rationale while thinking it’d never need to apply to him, that it’s only something other people would have to do to avoid having to inconvenience him, right? ---

Wow, 25 pages! You motherfuckers certainly did need a hell of a lot more from the OP. 🙂 ---

> [@curlcoat](#): > > As I said, that $10,000 didn’t bring in the Amex (which has no limit) nor our savings. Plus, I highly doubt that everyone involved with your appendectomy would have insisted you pay it all right away. I had a MRI done a few months ago and didn’t realize that my insurance company didn’t consider it to be the same as xrays and ultrasounds, so they paid much less than I thought they would. When I called the MRI billing dept they had no problem taking monthly payments. > > $26,000 would not come close to breaking us. If that is all it takes to push the average person in the US into bankruptcy, then they are doing something wrong. Ah, but $26,000 is a whole heck of a lot to someone who just got out of school months before, which is what I was. You have a very difficult time seeing the world through other people’s eyes. ---

You have a very difficult time seeing the world through other people’s eyes. Indeed. $26,000.00 is a huge chunk out of what I make in a YEAR–not counting what I’m able to sell online or make in odd jobs. That’s how it is for many folks, even the ones who, you know, work. I work multiple jobs on a college campus, but they’re all PT and hourly. It’s as much as I’ve been able to get even with three degrees. I suppose I’m “irresponsible” for not being able to get FT work in a field where there are few FT jobs and tons of PT applicants. ---

**Curlcoat** , again, seems to be playing the part of “Who cares what you say…I’m just going to keep replying until I “win” the thread and am the only person left replying”. I can think of two other trolls in the past who used to do exactly this. [Drmark2000](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=343779) used to do this constantly. Just keep replying and replying and replying singly to people until they all left and he was the sole person in the thread. Search his posts made for other topic gems if you care. The other I can think of, offhand, is [andrewdt85](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=355788). Again, the tactic seemed to be “Just keep replying and fighting–no matter what anyone else says.” a pattern that’s apparent if you read all of his topics ever made. Both were eventually banned. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > **Curlcoat** , again, seems to be playing the part of “Who cares what you say..I’m just going to keep replying until I “win” the thread and am the only person left replying”. I wish she’d figure out a way to reply to a bunch of people in one post. Instead, she replies to each person individually, even if her replies are repetitive. I can understand if you can only get online once a day or once every other day and have a lot to respond to, but open a word processor window, reply to a bunch of people at once and then post it, and don’t feel like you have to get back to everybody. ---

Also, FYI, every post has a “multi-quote” button right next to the big Quote button. If you click the multi-quote button for every post that you want to reply to, then when you click Reply, it will include all of the marked posts in the quoted material in your reply box.

> [@Rubystreak](#): > > How many indeed. Do you have any stats? As I’ve said before, there don’t seem to be any. I cannot find anything to indicate that anyone has bothered to look into the real causes of bankruptcy, other than look at what people say on their applications. > [@](#): > > [Read this article](http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2008-10-12-cancer-costs_n.htm) and tell me if you would be able to “plan ahead” for a type of cancer whose medications cost $10,000 per month. PER MONTH. One in four cancer patients have spent all of their savings. Why? Because, for instance, late stage cancer treatments can cost $25,000 out of pocket. As I’ve said before, I am well aware there will be times when someone is caught short thru no fault of their own. My opinion is only that they are not in the majority. > [@](#): > > Who said anything about “expecting”? No one “expects” to get cancer, Way to ignore what I said, which was “it is extremely irresponsible to expect that the taxpayer will cover all of your (generic your) medical expenses if you have done zip to try to pay for/plan for them yourself.” Nothing there about whether or not anyone expects to get cancer. > [@](#): > > Try for a fucking minute putting yourself in someone else’s place, then read your own words and see how utterly compassionless and divorced from reality they are. Which should be said to you. You completely ignore or twist everything I say simply because I don’t want to hop aboard the “lets create another government hand out” bus. You make up these stories about how much it costs to deal with cancer and ignore the fact that a majority of medical expenses have nothing to do with anything that expensive. You don’t have any interest in looking into what really leads people to go bankrupt nor why there are people who make too much to have Medicaid yet cannot afford insurance. No, you’d rather spend billions on yet another bandaid instead of dealing with the problems at the source, thereby creating even more people who are dependent on the government to get by. And you think I’m divorced from reality… ---
