Just in the last week or less, here in Hawaii, 250 patients from Micronesia are being denied chemotherapy and dialysis for one simple reason. The State has run out of money. The hospital said they will continue care for awhile, in hopes that monies can be secured some how, some way, but they can't continue forever. For those on dialysis this is a quick death sentence if care is witheld, straight up.

Who ARE these people? There the ones the Federal Government nuked some 60 times during the cold war atom bomb testing. By Federal law they are not considered immigrants nor are they US citizens, the Feds are supposed to pay for their care. But Hawaii state has been paying 80-90% for their care for years. It cannot do that any longer, will the Feds step up? Who should get care? Who should be left to die? We might need a bioethicist before this over...
