Cost of Living

Reading the "Cost of Living" by Emily Maloney, I found myself feeling very sympathetic towards to the author. Suicide is never the answer but when someone is driven to that point and they fail it leaves the person in an inconsolable state. Ultimately, what led to the authors decision to commit suicide was when she got off the meds she was prescribed, which was 26 in total. This is a lot of medication for someone to be taking and then suddenly stop. Her medical insurance was also terrible so she wasn't covered on her hospital expenses. As someone who has never had to deal with horrible debt I can't completely relate to her. I don't believe it's right to make someone pay that much money just to pay for medical expenses that come from them trying to kill themselves. They should receive help for their issues instead of having a bunch of debt thrown their way.
