Don't know the answer to that, but we ought to ask outselves this question and determine whether we, as a society ought to do something about it or just leave it at that. Canadians for instance, have decided that society at large should chip in money to prevent bankrupcy when someone gets sick. I'm not sure what the conserative answer is. I suspect it will be --- individuals should help them, not taxpayers.
