Oh keep your shirt on, pdq. I didn't say one gd word about her NOT getting decent healthcare. You know just as well as I do that our healthcare system is fucked up. There are TOO many who do not get any kind of care, decent or not. And, too many who are losing their shirts paying for it. I was making a general statement about things that need to be fixed around here and IF it were a wealthy, single woman who had done this, it would not be as much of an issue, IMO.

John:
Why do people have the right to live beyond their means, or do things which consequences of they are going to foist on others...the taxpayer?

You mean like what the shrub did that we are all paying for now? Or, those "fiscally responsible" CEOs who helped others to live beyond their means and have foisted the consequences on all of us?

I never said that. In fact, I said, twice I was not excusing the woman or the doctor. I think the whole thing is outrageous. I was just trying to point out some disparities in our society, imo.
