  1. yup, that sounds about right for US healthcare.. fleece as much money as possible from those who are not in your insurance scam.. I mean scheme 🙄🙄🙄

  2. A very good friend of mine suffered an eerily similar accident mountain climbing. Broke ribs, his spine in different places, fractured his skull, the list goes on.

    He went through a year of surgery and physical therapy but as we're French, he didn't PAY ONE CENT FOR HIS TREATMENT.

  3. Does the hospital can collect the payment if she is back to NZ? She doesn’t need US credit score in the future and I don’t think govt will extradite her just for this type of case (what do I know?) . If the worst scenario is she can’t ever visit US again after bailing , it wouldn’t such a big lost , would it ?

  4. New Zealand, like most first world countries has universal medical care. We do not. If she were from the U.S. she would be in debt for the rest of her life. As it is, she'll have some hefty bill to pay
    for the U.S. part of her rescue. I hope she will be able to continue to climb and maybe slow down and hike Yosemite trails. Also, she should read Mark & Mike's adventure climbing Half Dome. Mark is a paraplegic who with the help of Mike climbd Half Dome & El Capitan. Mike climbed every pitch twice: once to set pitons & once with Mark. It was amazing to watch them.

  5. 1 million in medical bills….. I'd be making sure to stop in Canada for a quick assisted suicide after that one because quality of life at that point is gone and gone for the next century. Good luck paying the empires bills. Its a trap!!!!

  6. Go to the soup line, go to the beach and help clean, volunteer at a school, 100 things you could do that benefit other people. This is the price she paid for extreme selfishness…..

  7. Mixed emotions here.
    I feel sorry for her pain.
    Horrified for her predicament.
    Admiration for her for doing something I would've never done.
    Going to visit her gofundme.

  8. Socialism works in New Zealand because they only have 5 million people…….and that's 5 million people who WORK HARD, STAY OUT OF JAIL AND PAY THEIR BILLS. We have 330 million people along with a skyrocket crime rate, millions committing Disability Fraud and accumulating debt. Socialism would be a DISASTER here.

  9. Will she actually be responsible for any of the $1 million? There's no debtor's prison to begin with and she's not a US resident so there's no "credit rating" for her to worry about.

  10. I am not surprised she is able to crack jokes 24 hours after… She is probably stuffed with opioids and benzos from head to toe…

  11. That’s the biggest fall from skipping an anchor bolt that I have ever heard of… did they mean she didn’t clip in to like 5 or 6?! Any climbers have anything on this? I’ll go looking the internet but I am curious, was this Trad or what the heck because 80ft is a very, very far fall for simply “missing a bolt”…
