While only God makes the ultimate judgment men must decide how their resources are to be spent. TRIAGE rules are in effect wrt to medical care and as such TS was at the bottom of the priority list.

I know this while be a shock to you but we do not have INFINITE resources.

It costs upwards of $80,000 a year for my Dad's care...for 12 years and counting. And that's not counting what Depends cost :~( Not one single dime is paid by medicare. ZERO!

If he didn't have the money, he would share a urine stenched room with another person on assistance, and probably just lay there.

Some people think the Gov't will take care of them, no matter what. They never stop to think what the quality of care will be if they don't have the money to pay their own way. It's not pretty.
