Cloudy, it was *not* a sarcastic remark about the poor. It was totally a sarcastic remark about the system, which it sounds like Hiram's family has come up against.
I think the point you make here is very valid, thanks for bringing it up. It hadn't occured to me, for the simple reason that in Britain there would have been no medical bills to pay, as care would have been given under the National Health System.
