people shoudln't have to fear that they can't go to the hostpital because they have no insurance

SAVE THERE LIFE, THEN MAKE THEM PAY!

but it always comes down to money, doesn't it?

we have now put money in front of people's lifes!

congradulations you rich basterds

Um. They ALREADY have to save their life first, and make them pay later. This man was GUARANTEED treatment in an emergency room regardless of his ability to pay.

Also, the article said NOTHING about him not being able to afford insurance...it merely said he didn't have it. I know plenty of people who could afford Health insurance, but choose otherwise.

Additionally, if it was because he couldn't afford health care, why is nobody asking the family why they didn't help him? Why is it easier to expect America, and thus millions of strangers, to finance this man instead of holding his family accountable?
