SubmarineNuke is not seriously warped. And these people had no job. YOU would have paid for treatment. Then we'd have a thread on what a blight the poor are and "WHY do I have to pay for their healthcare?!"

You can't have it both ways.

You too are wrong. Most posters here are against paying for the health care of those who are healthy and working and who simply do not wish to spend their money on health insurance. No one here begrudges helping out the truly needy. Yours is a post I usually read over at DU.

Anyone that would make a comparison in the cost to treat a dog, feed a dog, or do anything with or for a dog to that of a human being is warped. And as for paying - this is not the case of a lazy slob who ate double whoppers every day, drank fifths of Jim Beam, and smoked three packs a day complaining because they don’t have money to pay for their new liver or heart, this is a child; an innocent child with a very treatable illness and it DOES not cost the millions some of you clowns on here have implied. If that family was that poor, they would qualify for government paid health care and there are numerous orgs that would have helped that boy.

And, incidentally, there are many folks out there who are poor and have no job and they would not have treated their child this way.

Finally, I would GLADLY help to pay for treatment of people like that little boy who obviously was given monsters for parents.

Oh, and one more thing - I’d like to know how they even afforded buying food for the dog if they were not working.

It all depends on whether or not they asked for help from charities. If they didn’t even attend to their ailing son at a graduation party, I really doubt that they gave a ****.

Paved Paradise is right - I hope you others don’t have children, because no good parent would watch his/her child suffering in pain while refusing to take him to the doctor!!! If my child were suffering and begging to see a doctor, I would rush him to the doctor, no matter what it cost me! I would sell everything I own, to save my child, and any DECENT human parent would do the same!!! To any of you who think that money is more important than your child’s life - that is just sick!

Did you even read the article.

THey did not ever take him to a doctor. THis was not a case of no money or no insurance. THey never even took him to see what was wrong.
