Yes, it’s absolutely deplorable what Obama and the Dems have done to health care as a result of this legislation. But Obama care didn’t result in Ann’s friend’s sister’s death. No, her death was caused by an infection, and HER choice not to seek medical care because regardless of her insurance situation she didn’t feel like her health and ulltimately her life was worth her spending her money unless some insurer was going to pay for it!
I will wager she pays for a car payment, cell phone, shelter, clothing and other necessities of life without expecting some other entity to pay for those. Yet, when it comes to our health we have been conditioned to demand that someone else bears the financial responsibility.
She made a bad choice.... she died as a result.
Obamacare’s law taking away her coverage was but one of the determining factors — her choice was the main factor, as no ER or hospital would refuse treatment without immediate payment. That is a myth propagated by those who want a socialist society and one-payor health care mis-managed by Uncle Sam , and the benevolent Democrats !!!
What probably made the dead woman hesitate about going to the emergency room is the same thing that would make me hesitate: I know it would several thousand dollars, and in this economy I don’t have several thousand dollars, nor anywhere to get it. You never think you might really die, and you think you’re going to get into what could be real financial trouble over something that isn’t that big a deal.
You, sir, could use a little work on developing a bit of compassion. Sometimes it’s not the case that people are blowing large sums for a car and cell phone. Sometimes people really don’t have money. If they’re inner city residents they know the system and have Medicaid, but millions of middle class Americans don’t qualify. Frankly, I’m surprised to read a Freeper blaming a woman for her own death when we can so clearly see that the devastation caused by Obama was the real problem.
