A newborn baby girl died in India’s northern Punjab state after doctors removed her from an incubator that her parents couldn’t afford.
Americans are stuck paying for many people who can not afford medical care. I find it interesting that the parents thought they could get it for free...nothing is free in this World. Couldn’t they get a loan or something? I am so sick of free loaders.....
"the baby’s mother Sunita Kumar said. “I pleaded that my husband needed time to arrange the money, but to no avail..." - From the article.
I'm sure companies are lined up to make fast loans to India's poor.
Maybe the poor and needy exist just to test your character.
So, under your philosophy, ole napsie gets pulled over for a speeding ticket. $60 payable on the spot. Napster pulls out his wallet, blows the dust off of it, creaks it open to discover two twenties and a ten. Tough shinola for nappie-naps. Confiscate the car, crush it and hope nappers has some good walking shoes. Should have had enough to pay your bills you good-for-nothing indigent. That about right?
You need to re-read the article. Nowhere did the parents think they could get it for *free*. They said they needed time to arrange to get the money to the hospital. Many medical emergencies arise even here in the US when people - good people with good jobs and insurance - can’t afford to pay out of pocket immediately. I hope that never happens to you, and if it does, I hope that someone like yourself isn’t in control of deciding your fate...
