ACP, AMD & LPA His hospital bill: $1.2 million This is not what someone paid for a home. Rather it is the medical bill businessman Danny Foo accumulated for the 14 months he was in a vegetative state. The 48-year-old partner of Quayside Group died last Tuesday. He had collapsed and fallen into a coma in July last year, two weeks after he first sought treatment for an infected leg at a private hospital. "Fortunately, Danny had the foresight to buy insurance early.

While every child will grow up to have their own money values, much of their financial management prowess in the future will be shaped by lessons learned, intentionally or otherwise, in their formative years. source
