All she needed to do was to go to urgent care. I don't care if the bill was $500. If your car broke down, wouldn't you go get the freaking thing fixed...beg, borrow or steal to have your vehicle back?

Is health care a right or a privilege? If its a right, then it should be available in some sort of rational, cost effective manor. If its a privilege, then we have to accept that people who can not afford the privilege are going to die, and move on.

It's niether. It's a market service. It's a service and product folks are engaged in selling. Too bad the govm't got involved and wrecked havoc in the market.

It's a commodity, just like anything else you PAY for. The fact that I PAY for it each month tells me it's a commodity, not a "RIGHT", and any commodity should be subject to an ordinary economic market system.

People who can afford it and are paying for it also die.
