Mrs. Wilson was an impoverished uninsured domestic worker and her debt should be forgiven. Had she not fallen out of her bed in the hospital, she may still be alive.
Why is this important?
Mrs. Annie R. Wilson was an impoverished domestic worker who did not have health insurance. In November, 2004, she suffered a massive heart attack. While recovering at the Medical University of South Carolina, she fell from her bed in the intensive care unit. The fall resulted in her lapsing into a coma from which she never recovered. She passed away on December 29, 2004. Now, her creditors want to sell her small estate to pay off medical debt. However, her estate was worth only a tiny fraction of the medical debt that she owed. Her family believes that her estate should not be sold to pay the debt because she fell from her bed in the ICU. Had she not fallen from her bed, she may still be alive today.
