Meanwhile, here we treat runny illegal noses in our ERs.
THAT is exactly the point. No one is saying that the Mexican hospital should have treated him if he scraped himself on a rock while hiking. Heck, no one here thinks we should treat the same in the US for the uninsured (I don't think). But a life-or-death situation? That goes well beyond the political forum into the moral forum. This should NOT have happened.
