Imprisoned In Paris For Debts: After extensive experimentation, Goodyear was granted a U. S. patent in 1844. His English and French patents were lost by legal technicalities, and his attempts to establish factories in both countries failed. His American patent was upheld against numerous infringements in 1852. However, Goodyear's rights were ruthlessly pirated, even by his own associates. In 1885 he was arrested and imprisoned in Paris for debts not of his making. Goodyear died, poor, overworked, and disappointed, in New York City on July 1, 1860, leaving a heavy debt to his family.

Disability income benefits in the United States are paid both by corporate insurers and by the federal Social Security program.
With rising incomes and with rising favor for this type of coverage, disability income insurance has increased rapidly in volume in the United States. It may be viewed as more necessary than hospitalization coverage. If a person returns to work after incurring heavy medical expenses, he can frequently pay off his debts from his resumed income. In contrast, if he is totally and permanently disabled and lacks insurance that will maintain a flow of income, he probably cannot pay his debts, and he also needs income to survive. |
