Health care nightmares?

You might think that the Grinch has cre­at­ed this present health care scare but that would only be a com­par­i­son.

A friend relates this sto­ry that did not have to be…

A moth­er of two chil­dren who had no insur­ance came into the emer­gency room and was diag­nosed with pneu­mo­nia.

The Emer­gency room treat­ed with antibi­otics and sent the girl home. 

The next day the woman died of com­pli­ca­tions of pneu­mo­nia.

Now where is the health care for those at risk?

Where is the health care for those that the afford­able care act was designed to help?

Emer­gency rooms are turn­ing grave­ly ill patients away and send­ing them home with­out the basics need­ed to sur­vive.

Imag­ine what it must have been like to sit at home hop­ing that your breath­ing would improve, trust­ing that the treat­ment you received would save your life only to at the last moments of your life to real­ize that you could not breath.

Your chil­dren asleep and unable to help and like­ly she was not even able to make a life sav­ing call to 911

This sit­u­a­tion may sound dra­mat­ic but it is the truth and it hap­pened just the oth­er day.

In fact it is hap­pen­ing all over the Unit­ed States every sin­gle day.

The biggest prob­lem is not just the heart­less liars that run the Emer­gency rooms but it is also the con­gress­men and sen­a­tors that refuse to do any­thing to stop this abuse and make no mis­take it is abuse.

 It would be incon­ceiv­able to turn away some­one that was dying just because they had no insur­ance but this is what is hap­pen­ing and it is hap­pen­ing more than you know. 

We have to put an end to this bad behav­ior by doc­tors that swear an oath to do no harm yet they are par­tic­i­pat­ing in this mad­ness that is killing peo­ple.

We must hold these peo­ple respon­si­ble for these crimes and that is what they are crimes.

Only when a Doc­tor faces crim­i­nal charges for deny­ing care to a patient that results in death will they then do the right thing.

Then the threats and the manip­u­la­tions by the admin­is­tra­tion of hos­pi­tals all over the US will end with a doc­tor mak­ing a deci­sion which is the way it should be any­way. 

The way it is now, doc­tors are not mak­ing these deci­sions because they are afraid to make a deci­sion that would cost the hos­pi­tal a few addi­tion­al dol­lars as in this case an overnight stay would have like­ly sta­bi­lized this moth­er but now her two chil­dren have to go through life with­out a moth­er all so that a hos­pi­tal that receives mil­lions in char­i­ta­ble con­tri­bu­tions as well as fed­er­al aid can save mon­ey so it an be spent in oth­er ways, tell me how these evil peo­ple can even sleep at night?

 The truth is this is just the tip of the ice­berg soon they will have com­mit­tees that will decide who gets help and who does not get help.

If you have insur­ance you will have a much greater chance of sur­vival and if you do not all you can do is pray…

Vote in 2014 because it may save a life…

It might even save your own life.
