According to the LA Times, plaintiff Mary Brown was uninsured last fall when her husband's medical bills stacked up to $4,500. That, combined with other debt they had accumulated, led the couple to file for bankruptcy:

It should be anyone's right to what kind of health insurance they have. "I believe that anyone has unforeseen things that happen to them that are beyond their control," Brown said. "Who says I don't have insurance right now?" Brown "doesn't have insurance. She doesn't want to pay for it. And she doesn't want the government to tell her she has to have it." |
