Let the family grieve

Losing a loved one to COVID is hard enough.

But when “James,” who didn’t have health insurance, passed away, his family inherited crushing medical debt — debt racked up during his final months of hospital care.

Laws on the books should prevent this kind of catastrophe, but the processes are complex. Navigating multiple bureaucracies, ABC for Health helped make sure James’ care was duly paid for.

Now his family can focus on healing and moving forward after their loss, without financial debilitation.
