Ironically funny! I see him trying to die so he won't have to pay the medical bill.

Sure, I'm sure lots of people would give up their lives just to avoid a bill. Though considering the medical bill might be financially crippling and might ruin someone's life for years, dying might be the best route.
Some procedures are unpleasant to say the least. That's why people have living wills and DNRs.

@MissKathleen it doesn't matter. I'm just lazy I guess. I don't have a regular will made out yet either.
