“It had never occurred to me the financial repercussions someone could encounter because of an ongoing medical situation. We were a middle-class family with college degrees and solid full-time jobs in marketing and construction management. We owned our house, had very little debt, a savings account, retirement accounts and comprehensive medical insurance. We traveled once or twice per year to exotic locations, we had a rescue dog named Jameson and were enjoying being responsible adults and building our lives together.”
