[quote:Anonymous Coward 421894:MV81NjkzMDRfODY5MzQyN18zRkJDNERBOA==] [quote:Anonymous Coward 206814] Nobody cares anymore that is true. Only the wealthy are cared for anymore because they have all the fucking money... I know several broke, uninsured persons, in serious need of extended medical care and will not get it, not only because the state they live in is supposedly running out of money, but of course, because they have no insurance. So they will continue suffer until they die. They will do just about anything for painkillers, which doctors have such hard time handing out these days. On the other hand, a very wealthy relative with tons of insurance (used to be a state employee) just received three months of intensive care for acute leukemia at one of the best cancer hospitals on the East Coast. One time her temperature rose so high, they helicoptered her to another facility. Finally, when the docs could do no more for her, they sent her home in an ambulance, an 1 1/2 hour ride. ALL PAID for by state insurance, which is you and me folks. Now, she is resting comfortably at home with daily hospice workers and a full-time registered nurse attending her every need. Now, don't get me wrong, this woman is a wonderful person, but so are my friends that do not have insurance whatsoever. Money talks. It has the power of GOD. At least in America. Add to the fact that most everyone is so incredibly self-centered and competitive, they could care less if a person dies in front of them. There are rare exceptions, of course. As the economy keeps going to hell, magnifiy this 100 times. These are the times we live in. [/quote] My niece was talking to a woman. The woman's about 35-40. She doesn't have a lot of money and has no insurance. The doctor tells her she's got cancerous growths in her uterus. The woman asks is she can have it removed as she doesn't plan on any more kids. Doc tells her since she has no way to pay for it and no insurance, they'll just have to keep an eye on it "until it gets bad enough." UNTIL IT GETS BAD ENOUGH ? So, this lady gets to walk around waiting for it to get "bad enough". How much is "bad enough"? Dead? [/quote]
