    I was surprised to learn that Mary Brown, the plaintiff in the case (details below), had to file bankruptcy due partially to her medical bills. I wonder who paid for those bills?

    "Reporting from Washington — Mary Brown, a 56-year-old Florida woman who owned a small auto repair shop but had no health insurance, became the lead plaintiff challenging President Obama's healthcare law because she was passionate about the issue.

    Brown "doesn't have insurance. She doesn't want to pay for it. And she doesn't want the government to tell her she has to have it," said Karen Harned, a lawyer for the National Federation of Independent Business. Brown is a plaintiff in the federation's case, which the Supreme Court plans to hear later this month."

    • She didnt have insurance. WE ended up paying her bills through insurance premiums, added hospital costs, etc.Josev
