    I don’t think there is any way they can go after family for debts, except a spouse or if they got someone to sign something.

    They can definitely go after her estate though, and probably will.

    Socialized healthcare is when you can’t get medical treatment and doctors are enslaved.

    Capitalist healthcare is when the law forces you to recieve medical treatments you didn’t consent to, and you have to pay for them.
