Dying from lack of insurance.


From a Facebook friend, who posted a link to a song:

One of my favorites. Nice rendition. It brought back a memory that is painful. It was in another life. It was my 1st wife's (Joann RIP) favorite. She died at home from a brain aneurysm. The hospital sent her home claiming she was just drunk. The real reason they sent her home was she had no insurance and owed them money. Her daughter Liz and her son Dennis held her hand as she described what was happening to her, as blood leaked into her brain and she started losing functions of her body. She told them she could hear the blood gurgling in her head. She passed with them there on the couch in their living room. Does capitalism work for the people?
