Dad in Kansas jailed over medical debt

Heather and her son Lane Biggs just needed medical care. A few years ago, Lane was getting treated for leukemia, which he was diagnosed with at age 5, and at the same time, his mom Heather developed seizures from Lyme disease.

That left the family with a $70,000 medical debt that they couldn’t afford.

They didn’t make enough to afford health insurance, but they made too much to qualify for Medicaid.

After he missed a court appearance about his unpaid bills and was unable to get the money for the $500 bail, Tres was sent to jail.

"Our society can no longer allow these medical criminals to get away with it. Who knows what they will do to our oranges, or our infrastructure? Medical debt is a serious threat to everyone and they should be given long sentences with hard, manual labor. We must rid ourselves of these vermin before they get sick again! I will use the War Powers act to fight them and sign many, many Executive Orders and have Jabba...I mean Attorney General Barr persecute...I mean, prosecute them to the full extent of the wall laws I will build." - Donald J. Drumpf

That's how he will fix that.
