It might not have come to such a end if he could have received decent medical care immediatly following the loss of his job/insurance. Once the insurance goes away you may wait on the Doctors until your really really sick. Then it's really really gonna cost you.
Not all medical care is free to the poor and hospitals can, will and have refused treatment. When the cancer clinics for the poor shut down because their out of funding the hospital isn't going to cover your chemotherapy. It's happening right now all over the country, people ARE dieing from lack of funded medical care. SOMETHING needs to be done!

A person does not lose their house, or car, or have their credit ruined in a medical bill bankruptcy. In a regular overextended bankruptcy, they do have their credit ruined---WELL before the bankruptcy. If a person files due to medical bills and pays their other bills even tho they are wiped away in the bankruptcy. Their credit is fine. Savings go,,yes. I should pay to protect someone else's savings?
If a hospital refused critical care to anyone, a good lawyer would soon own that hospital. The poor guy would still be screwed, but his lawyer would do fine. That is nature's way. It was that way when we ran around with clubs, it is still that way today, and it will ALWAYS be that way. The liberals always DREAM that they can change the basic nature of the world. They cannot.
Something needs to be done??? Let the poor DIE. It is the fiscally and society prudent thing to do. Saves money and improves the gene pool.
