RIP Nick Cordero — Page 3

Oh my God. That story ruined me. Thanks for posting, Hogan.

Really shocked by Nick Cordero’s passing and how it could happen to someone so young and fit. I created this video dedicated to his career on stage. RIP Nick X

Now there is a group that wants to rename a Broadway theatre after him.

I'm pretty sure that Amanda said in one of her Instagram live vids that he had great healthcare coverage, so it isn't clear that the gofundme money is actually going toward his hospital bills.

Even with great insurance, 3 months in the ICU isn't cheap. A large portion of the money will probably go to hospital bills. I'm sure Nick would want the rest to be put toward the family's financial security and his son's education.

You really need to gain a better understanding of how health insurance works in the United States. Even bad insurance (and I very much doubt Nick's insurance was bad) pays all expenses once you hit the maximum out of pocket amount which, for the worst plans, is capped at $16,300 per family in 2020. People have health insurance so they don't have to worry about hospital bills if they have to spend 3 months in the ICU. This is not to suggest in any way that the family did not have terrible expenses during this beyond-challenging period but let's keep the facts straight.

Depending on the policy they had, it probably didn't cover everything; however, there is usually a maximum out of pocket, which means that they would be responsible for X amount, but no more than that. As a retiree, I have a supplemental policy to cover expenses not covered by Medicare. Even there, you can pay a little and get better coverage, you can pay a lot more and get essentially full coverage (with medicine being an exception). I mention this only to say that there COULD be bills not covered by his policy at all. Pure guessing on my part, however.

Rest In Peace... Gone too soon...

Kloots shared that during the memorial service, guests listened to the song "I'm Here" from The Color Purple Broadway show as a way to honor a date she and Cordero had years ago.
