Even for the uninsured, a typical mammogram only costs $100-200...maybe $250. Now let's just assume that because there already was a suspicious mass that she was aware of, perhaps they would have had to take more thorough x-rays or something. So what are we up to, $400? $500? Are we to believe that if she would have gotten diagnosed, that she and her family would not have been able to come up the additional money to meet the deductible? No way no how? You are correct in pointing out that this was a choice. She took a risk cleaning out her life savings to start a business. Businesses themselves are very risky. I'll be the last person to tell someone else how to spend their money, but dang it, if you are about to spend your last dime on a luxury without considering future necessities, don't expect me to pay for those necessities when they come up.
