Even if the guy does have health insurance.....if he is/was in a coma, that means ICU care. That's $$$$ every day he remains in the ICU. Not to mention any surgeries he likely has had. Health insurance doesn't always cover that 100% so he still will receive bills to pay.

I'm guessing his medical bills are already north of 100k.

It isn't out of the question the government may pay for it.

I believe it happened after the church shooting.

Yeah, but if he has even decent insurance he won't be paying more than $5-$10k. Even an Obamacare plan has a maximum out of pocket limit for a family plan of $13,200.

Another thing to keep in mind is that it said he suffered a gunshot to the back of the head. So who knows the severity of the head injury this guy could have. He could make a full recovery, or need extensive medical rehab to regain basic functions.

He could need special medical equipment at home once he's well enough to be released from the hospital. Equipment not always covered by insurance.
