But this article cannot be true.

Healthcare in the United States in not rationed currently, that would only happen under Obamacare, and further, the story suggests this is happening on the basis of a law passed in Texas. Texas is the most freedom loving state in the whole of the United States, well, except maybe for Alaska.

“But, you guys got to…need to contact me on Monday. You do not get to sit and not look for a place to put your father. That is your problem. If you guys don’t want to take care of him, that is your decision as well. But, you do not get to get what you want by keeping him in the hospital, and having it on Memorial Hermann Northwest. So, we were nice. We gave you guys ‘til after the first, and now you guys have took our niceness as for a weakness.”

There’s a whole lot more to the story than was posted on the blog. It looks like the family may have just abandoned him there.

I also noticed how many times she said that. I suppose that is supposed to offset all of her other nastyness.

This "administrator" should be put in hospice. She's obviously soul-dead.

The family didn’t abandon him. He had a stroke and the hospital was happy to keep him while the government was paying his bill. Then his government benefits ran out and the hospital gave them notice to get him out (to face certain death). The family was with him continuously.

It’s like the person who says, “I don’t mean to be offensive, but...” That’s always a clue that they know they are going to be offensive! LOL

Sure looks that way. This smells like yellow journalism. Our medical system has plenty of problems; there's no need to manufacture them.

Ping!

You see, here’s what happens when you start setting health care people free from any real worries about having to go to court and face a jury of 12 ordinary Americans.

parsy, who says what a coincidence. . .

Oh yes she apparently did.

OK, but you didn't include who was supposed to pay the bill when the government benefits ran out.

Who should? The hospital?

I don’t have an answer to this sort of thing, but I’m surprised there are no charities that will pick up at least part of the tab for these instances.

They didn't abandon him - they expected the hospital (and the taxpayers) to continue footing the bill for his care.
