In fact, if this poor family wanted to pay privately for this expensive care, the hospital would be constrained from taking their money.
This is the bastardized 'insurance' we are all entitled to, and this is the kind of 'care' we are thus sentenced to.
I actually think this family has a fair shot at compelling this hospital to continue to provide care for this poor fellow. If they do, and if only a small number of families and patients took a similar tack, under current Medicare payment rules, the hospital industry could be bankrupted in a very short time.
I'm not for Universal healthcare.
That's the problem, does anyone have a solution? Where is all this money going?
