But Flor said he feels “guilty” knowing that taxpayers will bear much of the cost of his heart-stopping hospital bills.” “It was a million bucks to save my life, and of course I’d say that’s money well-spent … But I also know I might be the only one saying that,” the Seatle Times quoted him as saying.
