but what I find disingenous is that this couple "had" to go to Houston....for crying out loud, they couldn't find treatment in Cleveland or Columbus, or Pittsburgh?......sounds like they wanted what they wanted and then complain about it....sounds like they knew they could get away with it because granny had a bunch of bucks....
Re: “This couple “had” to go to Houston”
Exactly right.
Time Magazine forgot to tell us something....
The MD Anderson Center in Houston has been ranked the #1 cancer treatment clinic in the USA for at least ten years.
That probably means it’s #1 in the world.
The Saudi royal family goes there.
You can imagine what that does to treatment costs for the uninsured.
If Hugo Chavez had gone there, he might have had some chance at beating his pelvic sarcoma - although that’s a horrible cancer, and most people do die.
Tell that to Jeff Head.
The people who operate the physical plant aren't the cost drivers. Not by a long shot.
