Our helper, who's been serving my husband's family for years and now takes care of our son, has just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Is it our responsibility to cover her treatment and medical expenses? I don't agree with my husband that it is.

yes, its our responsibility. my helper ran fever from her overdue iud and serious discharge and painful cramp everyday. changed 3rd gynae i offered to pay for her as it was 700+ , many of my frens were against it and said she must had been 'naughty blah blah blah.' stereotyping!! i know my helper, she is not that sort
