Sucks for his family. I hope his daughter recovers nonetheless, and he realizes his role in her suffering.

    Nowhere in the post do they make any indication that their insurance (or independent wealth) isn’t covering the healthcare. This is a person who’s job is to make money off of people in poor health, why wouldn’t he try to profit off of his own family?

        Is it more evil to lie about a child with leukemia for profit or exploit an actual child with leukemia for profit? That’s your answer.

      They work in healthcare and financing. The very branch that has worked to mess up healthcare prices. Now that he needs healthcare to be affordable, he is asking for help trying to afford healthcare. That’s what gofundme is for.

        My guess is that they are wealthy enough/actually receive good insurance coverage, that without the gofundme, they would still be able to afford it just fine. I think they created the gofundme just because they knew it would make some money.
