What she ment was:
"You are going to die, broke and alone, and pass down all your debt to your family. I will die peacefully, surrounded by love ones after trying, and throwing, everything against my illness and not pay a penny."
TL; DR:
"Fuck you. I got mine."
You cannot pass debt down to family. No next of kin is legally obligated to pay that debt even though the debt collectors will try.
No next of kin is legally obligated to pay that debt

Yeah, you're gonna have to show incontrovertible proof of that claim.
I very much doubt that thousands of people go bankrupt every year from the OPTIONAL medical debt of deceased relatives..
No I don’t, it’s a very simple google search you can execute on your own. It of course may vary depending on where you live but here in the US you are not legally liable for your parents debt.
Anyone who lives in:
In community property states (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin), a surviving spouse may be responsible for debts incurred during the marriage, regardless of who the account is in.
Or Co-Signed a loan; example. My wife was having credit issues after her divorce so I cosigned a loan for a used Camry. Had she died I would have been responsible for the outstanding payments.
This is not the same situation as passing off debt. This is where you may have co signed on something and of course you are legally obligated. That’s not being argued, completely different situation.
Thats true, there is an element of voluntary participation in the art of co-signing; but the problem is from the poor perspective. Cosigning is really the only way to get some of the things that you can’t live without like a house an apartment or a car. For example, I used to be a teacher in the state of Kansas and none of the new teachers leaving college entering the workforce. We’re financially stable enough to get a car without a cosigner. So unfortunately, someone is going to inherit that debt if they die.
You don’t inherit debt you co-sign for. That is YOUR debt you a teaming up with the co borrower to pay for (doesn’t matter if you contribute any $$ or not). It’s still not the same thing as what’s being discussed.
Op must be German, where debt does get passed down (by default)
Edit: maybe Estonian?
Only poor people

I read "we are all going to die" and I thought finally some outrage. Then I saw "defends" and realized I read it wrong.
So yeah, let people die is apparently the angle here.
cutting social security and medicaid is going to do that soon. And telling diabetics to cut it out with the insulin taking and read a recipe book instead.
You first, lady.
Her response: "Well, we all are going to die."
Might as well do so sooner rather than later... Get it over with and don't be using up good money that could be used to feather Robber Baron pockets...
🤡 🙄 🖕 🖕
“Look, we need big number to go up for the people who pay us to pretend to run the country. If some of you peasants die a little early, that’s fine with us. You’re going to vote for us anyway, because you’re afraid that supporting workers’ rights will somehow turn you gay. Btw, stay on social media. It’s very good for you.”
Okay, how about we talk a nice walk across that bridge over there. Don't worry, If I push you over, just remember that you would have died anyways.
people keep asking when will somebody do something but nobody does anything. they are openly saying our deaths are irrelevant now. it's gotten to a new level of depravity and unabashed behavior because they have no fear left. they are shameless because who is there to stop them?
as usual my response to this typical republican shit is ‘you first’
Yeah, see: That's the fucking problem you utter dimwit.
My response to that would be something like
You first, leech
No disagreement but I think the Senator should go first
Trade offer.
Billionaires get: Tens more billions of dollars.
You get: Medical bankruptcy, an early painful death, and children who grow up poor and without support.
You first, Bitchface McRichcunt.
Dumb ass cracker bitch
This is exactly what my Iowa family thinks of Ernst. Chick Grassley ain’t much better.
