I don't think that's satire. A friend of mine out west told me that hospitals are turning away acutely ill people especially the homeless even though they're more eligible. Obamacare is just like NHS. I said it then I say it now.

He told me of a sick old homeless guy in Seattle, got turned away from Harbor view hospital and given a vial of aspirin. He died of Pneumonia.

I just did a quick check. Medical care is the third greatest cause of death in the US!

That isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Providers aren't going to take blame for killing someone if they can point to another cause. The point of the article is valid....there should be some discussion of the risk/reward ratio of any "cure".
