Why did former teen superstar James Van Der Beek need help to pay his medical bills?
A fundraiser was set up to help the actor's family after expensive cancer treatments devastated their finances.

They address "he wasn't wealthy" in detail, but sort of slide over the "US doesn't have national health insurance" part, which would explain more about why wealth is important.

@jeneralist yes, that's the first thing I noticed too. and I started thinking about all the other people without adequate insurance in this country who also don't have adequate fame to mount a successful GoFundMe campaign. The US press especially should be jumping all over this

@jeneralist as my husband faces his battle with Cancer, we have another reason to be thankful we are Canadians. Top notch care and we’ve not had to pay out of pocket for anything.

@annecavicchi @jeneralist I’ve been so brainwashed as an American I don’t even think medical care is very ethical. It’s the method the rich take to cheat death.
