Wihtout knowing every detail of the story here are my thoughts.
1. There’s a big difference in the cost of treating cancer and paying for a flea treatment.
2. If they couldn’t afford insurance for their boy, who should pay for his medical treatment? Are we advocating socialized medicine in this case because of the age of the cancer victim as opposed to if it had been his father who wasn’t treated?
3. I’m sure there is financial help/donations/free or low cost clinics for a family facing this kind of thing. Did they try to find it?
All of you people that even bring up the mention that the cost is different are very, very scary. Please tell me you have no children... please.
1. Yes, there is,. Hundreds of thousands of $.\
2. Private charities like the Shriners Hospitals are glad to do it. No.
3. Probably not. The parents have been indicted.
