Our Christian Nation Has the Bestest Health Care In the World



i'm sure jesus would approve:

Paraplegic allegedly 'dumped' on skid row

A paraplegic man wearing a soiled hospital gown and a broken colostomy bag was found crawling in a gutter in skid row in Los Angeles on Thursday after allegedly being dumped in the street by a Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center van, police said.

... more ...
the man was dumped without a wheelchair. there are simply no more excuses to put off a nationalized health care system. the private system doesn't work. profit motive requires that poor sick people be excluded. that is a violation of medical ethics.

i think a lawsuit of unforeseen nasty proportions should be in order. since it could probably be proven that these workers were acting in the scope of their employment, this would put the hospitals on the hook. sue them all. make them hemorrhage money even more. so now they have a choice: treat everyone and lose money... or treat some people and get your pants sued off, thereby losing money as well.

the only way out for these hospitals would be to lobby for reformed health care as well.

wait! wait! i forgot the most obvious reason why this guy was dumped on skid row. he was supposed to PRAY, and then he would be healed.
