My daughter is not a quad or a paraplegic, but because she has no medical
insurance, they asked her to leave the hospital just as soon as she wasn't
critical anymore. Their excuse, she should go on a diet and lose weight, and
as soon as she left the hospital, she should go to her doctor.
Even though two of us told the doctor that she had gained 45 pounds in two
weeks, his answer was that diet and exercise would take care of everything.
For five days in the hospital, the bill was $21,000. And because she has no
insurance, she will be paying this off the rest of her life probably. And
the result of her going to a doctor was, he gave her water pills and three
weeks later she was down 51 pounds! Guess hospitals are only for the rich
and the healthy!

Unexcusable!
I'll bet they don't dump illegal immigrant paras...
LA's medical services (including Medicade) is going broke providing
manditory care for illegals. But the Politicaly Correct crowd refuse
to acknowledge the consequences we pay for their feel good
agenda's.
I've been writing letter after letter, but my Representative is outnumbered.
God help us if billary gets her way.
Health care services will go broke and we'll be left out in the cold.
I for 1 am doing much better service wise now than 6 yrs ago.
