“I would imagine he would die a more painful slower death. But I have never heard of putting to death a fully conscious and responsive patient.”
Obamacare rule: If you cant pay, you don’t play.
I don’t know how to change it. I do hope more people can see it tomorrow.
I have had family members die in the past few years, they way they are “eased” into their journey is just a little better than they do for our pets. Seriously people, is it a sin to put a bullet into grandmas head because she is suffering? What is the difference between that and having hospice, or her daughter up the dosage of morphine? JMHO...
Say what??
Ping to self....to bump later!!
I found another article about it.
“American hero faces death sentence in a Texas hospital”
One of us could post it in the AM.

However, there is a huge difference in suggesting a dignified end for someone who is completely... something like brain-dead or the more crude "vegetable... and suggesting such for a man who is aware and able to communicate his desires.
When a man begs to live and a hospital says he must die, that sounds like murder.
The hospital prolly wants his organs. I can say this due to personal experience. Thank god my mother was a doctor which likely prevented the hospital from rushing to take me off life support. They told my mom there were patients who needed my organs!
This insurance money problem never existed like this before Obamacare. I am expecting to read about armed guards throwing desperately ill patients out on the sidewalk for lack of insurance. I expected this to happen when that monstrosity was passed. >>> it never was an insurance problem.
Isn’t one of the selling points of the Affordable Crappy Health Care Insurance Act the fact that even with a pre existing condition you can get health care insurance?

When a human life is at stake, you risk your own life including your political office on doing what is morally right unlike typical Republican Establishment politicians in the Bush mold.
Terri Schiavo. She was awake and responsive. She was executed without breaking any law by a probate judge like deciding who gets the silverware. Some of the Constitutional types that are anal about Ted Cruz, know that to be executed, you must first be found guilty of a capital crime. I'm sick of people saying she had a bad life they they wouldn't want to live. They don't have a vote.
And here you are telling us about it! Thank God you are!
And she died a slow and painful death.
This hospital must be sacrificed for 2016!
Prior to Obamacare, 85% of Americans were covered by health insurance. And 85% of them were satisfied with their policy and provider -- an unusually high level of satisfaction in a consumer business.
Of the roughly 45 million people who weren't insured, approximately 1/3 of them could afford to buy insurance, but chose not to (mostly single young adults)...1/4 of them were eligible for Medicare, but had never applied for it...and 1/4 were in the country illegally. The number of people who wanted insurance but could't afford it was comparatively miniscule (around 5-7 million).
And here you are telling us about it! Thank God you are!
The tragedy helped me become Conservative before I was 18. One has a lot time to pray, think, read and listen to talk radio recovering from such a trauma:))
I thought this sort of case was what Obamacare was for,where you could never be judged for preexisting ailments.
The mom needs to either become his Conservator for medical matters, or look for a social worker,or a lawyer to do it.

the premiums must be to high to afford if they didn’t have it...
