Fortunately, Bree's excellent NHS covered the ill guests.
(Unlike Bree's colonial spinoff, The Shire, all residents and
guests received universal health care coverage. The Shire's
more conservative ethos felt it was each hobbit's responsibility.
This worked out well for upper class hobbits like Merry and
Pippin, Sam and The Gaffer...not so much).

No doubt there's some kind of moral there.
