An Aurora shooting victim could face millions in medical costs because he faces a common problem: He doesn't have health insurance.

The family of Caleb Medley has been told that his medical bills could cost up to $2 million if he fully recovers, CBS News reports (h/t ThinkProgress). Medley, who lacks health insurance, is currently in an induced coma after he was shot in the eye during Friday's Colorado tragedy. His wife, Katie, gave birth to their son in the same hospital Tuesday.

Okay, so first blame goes on him for not having health insurance to begin with. But even if he did, there is no guarantee that he would be able to afford to keep it after being shot and crippled. This man will not be able to work for a long time, if he survives, and had he had insurance, he almost certainly would have lost it while still needing a tremendous amount of medical care.

According to some he should just yank on his bootstraps and die.

There will be tons of support for the victims from many different places.We are a very generous country,they will not be alone.


Using him for a political jab is kinda creepy.
