Dad in Kansas jailed over medical debt [View all]
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.
