“Every day on GoFundMe, we see the challenges Americans face with the rising costs of a broken health care system,” the company told the Tribune. “However, while GoFundMe can provide timely, critical help to people facing health care crises, we do not aim to be a substitute social safety net. A crowdfunding platform cannot and should not be a solution to complex, systemic problems that must be solved with meaningful public policy. We believe that affordable access to comprehensive health care is a right, and action must be taken at the local, state and federal levels of government to make this a reality for all Americans.”
