A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.

I mean some doctor told me I had six months to live and I went to their funeral.

I had a serious childhood illness - sort of like spinal meningitis - that led to a three-month hospitalization. Afterward, I couldn't be insured because of a pre-existing condition.

Under Medicare right now, I get paid to put a pacemaker in you, but I don't get paid to counsel you about end-of-life care.

Three days after my brother died, my father was in the hospital. He just did not want to live anymore. Before, he was fighting and loving life.

I was told when I went for a life-insurance exam when I was 18 that I was not likely to live past 50, so I refused to pay the premium.

My father was a doctor.

When I was born I owed twelve dollars.

I later spent... five to eight months in hospitals in New Jersey, always on an involuntary basis, and always attempting a legal argument for release.

When I told my doctor I couldn't afford an operation, he offered to touch-up my X-rays.
