I'm usually more sympathetic than the next guy, but this story sounds weird. Pnuemonia (sp) knocks you on your butt, and you feel like you are going to die (had it once). It does NOT feel like a cold. She should have gone ANYWHERE to get checked out. I'm not trying to be unkind, but the problem here wasn't that she wasn't insured, it's that she didn't seek medical attention at all. Kind of like Jim Henson.

My nephew had his tonsils out which involved a hospital stay, his parents were uninsured at the time. They applied for and got some type of assistance where they didn't pay A PENNY!

Helping the poor get medical attention is the job of the Church, not the government.

I had pnuemonia and a 2 year old. Sometimes one doesn't have the privilige of being knocked on ones butt.

Which church is doing that?
