Survivors of one of the deadliest massacres in United States history will not have to worry about paying back their hospital bills following the shooting.
Orlando Health and Florida Hospital announced Thursday it is writing off an estimated $5.5 million in hospital dues for the victims of the Pulse Nightclub massacre on June 12, According to the Orlando Sentinel, according to ktnv.com.
The Sentinel reports that Orlando Health will only bill insurance companies, and any outstanding costs will be forgiven, ktnv.com reports.
This is the least they could do, should have been automatically (call it the Scandinavian way) – the victims shouldn’t need to worry a second on what it will cost them – just thinking about getting better.
