One cannot help wondering if mr Revera was going in on the taxpayers’ dime.
Mr. Rivera emigrated from Puerto Rico in 1964, worked a factory job while getting a GED and then attending college, then worked for 30 years as a high school guidance counselor.
That doesn’t matter and shouldn’t be a question. When someone is in an emergency room seeking help they should get it. Not every person with an hispanic name is an illegal. One of my ancestors came to this country in the 1750’s and he was named Francisco Segura.

This didn’t even occur to me until I read your comment.
I don’t think you should judge anyone’s health coverage by their appearance. I’m assuming that’s what you did, after you saw his picture? He could be a multi millionaire. He could have a cadillac plan. You can’t tell just by looking at somebody.
Anyway, once we are over, what, 60 or something, we get Medicare, do we not? Are we supposed to refuse it in principle even though we paid for it all of our working lives? Is that what you are planning to do?
My condolences to him and his family. He was not treated well at the end.
