Since the event was considered to be unsanctioned, it was not covered by her Canadian Freestyle Ski Association health insurance and her parents were sent a $550,000. The bill was subsequently reduced to around $200,00, a portion of which will be covered by B.C. Medicare. Monster Energy Co., the sponsor of the event that took Burke's life, has also promised to provide assistance to the family. Wendell Potter, a former insurance industry executive and current analyst for the Center for Public Integrity said, "The irony is that had the accident occurred in Canada, her family would not be having to come up with more than half a million dollars to pay for her care. Her care would have been covered because, unlike the U.S., Canada has a system of universal coverage." Potter went on to note that about 700,000 families file for bankruptcy each year in the United States, due to medical debts. The debate roars on as to whether a public or private health care system is the best option for Americans, but either way, millions of people are looking for affordable health insurance right now.
