Because she should be responsible for her fathers condition?

  Because they are not in a position of need. There are other people which were more reliant on such help to avoid a disastrous situation. If this family got no crowd sourced help, I think they would have been OK. Of course, there are a lot of assumptions in this assessment. My comment has nothing to do with my opinion on the cost of medical services in the US. If you would like that, I think the Affordable Care Act used up a very rare opportunity for improvement to put us into a worse situation. What we really needed was a public option for the private companies to compete with. Here in California our subsidized option, Covered California, was horrendous, at least at launch. Also, subsidized was not enough to help, and the subsidization counted as taxable income which was a slap in the face for those who needed it.
