The 33-year-old freelance cameraman who contracted Ebola in Liberia is fighting for his life at the University of Nebraska Medical Center this week. He’s also racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.
According to a GoFundMe campaign launched Monday by his friends, Ashoka Mukpo’s medical bills could run in excess of $500,000.

BTTT!
They do pass on to the estate, if any.
interesting . . .
Liberal Nancy Snyderman or the network won’t pay up? It might bring shame upon them if word were to get out./s
Not to heirs but to the estate yes. An executor is charged with paying the bills. If there is nothing left, then yes, it’s an uncollectable debt, but only after the estate is exhausted.
NBC using him as a free lancer means they didn’t have to provide health insurance. They lucked out! /s
So, I guess it is assumed that he is an uninsured person in this wonderful age of obamacare. How can this be???? /s
Maybe it’s a state law, but in my neck of the woods, debts are still owed after death. The hospital will try to collect from the estate.
When my uncle died, I administered his “estate” even though technically, there was no estate. Uncle didn’t have a will and his assets weren’t enough to formally apply for letters of administration. I still paid the bills. The only one I didn’t pay was from the ambulance service — which came in more than a year since my uncle’s affairs were settled.
I think you got that backwards. His mother ran off with the monk when she was sixteen. This was her first marriage.
The monk had chronic illness, and was treated by the doctor, Levy. She had an affair with the doctor while still married to the monk, and got pregnant with Ashoka.
The monk adopted Ashoka as his own. Apparently, she eventually divorced the monk, and is now married to the doctor, the father of Ashoka.
It is my understanding that if he had Obamacare or any health insurance it does not cover experimental drugs.i am surprised that nebraska med center when you enter there for a transplant they won’t even talk to you unless you have insurance.
If your living outside the country, you won't be taxed for not having it. I doubt he could have obtained health insurance coverage for Liberia while an Ebola pandemic is on going.
The real story here, is that with open borders and what used (and maybe still is) the best health care in the world, Obola will impoverish our nation. In 5 or 10 years, if there is no vaccine, people will be rushing the southern border to get free treatment in America.
Think Texas times 100s.
I thought monks didn’t need sex /S
Irish...
“Fund it with the cure-all, Obamcare.”
Where are all the current, enlightened rock starts to promote a new age “Live Aid” ... in Lagos or some such place.
Then there is that $7,000 funeral expense bill on top
I want to know how paid duncans bills..........
There is a Mukpo clan in (from) Tibet. Lady Diana is mentioned here:

“...Lady Diana Mukpo, the Vidyadhara’s widow and holder of the title Druk Sakyong Wangmo, is one of the founders of the Konchok Foundation....”
The guy comes from a seriously odd “family”

“...Lady Diana Mukpo, the Vidyadhara’s widow and holder of the title Druk Sakyong Wangmo, is one of the founders of the Konchok Foundation....”

I love to hear Marble Mouth Mooch stumbling over trying make THAT statement.
It is Indian-Indian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashoka
