Today, April 25, 2009, my dear friend would have been 28 years old. He is greatly missed by hundreds of people who knew his kind nature and awesome personality. I have the overwhelming feel that something so wrong happened to allow him to die for lack of care in a rich society that allows "healthcare" to exclude life-sustaining medication for it's citizens and voters on the pretext that the need "pre-existed" some event. The magnitude of this is simply inexpressible.
I would accept death,With a too good ins policy they would keep you alive as a vegetable for as long as they can collecting the money and giving interns all kinds of experience doing it MY ex is an RN heard the stories.My Mom died on Mothers day this year at 86 she fell down twice passing out and my sister took her to the hospital and she refused all treatment being of sound mind.she went to sleep that nite and never woke up. the hospital lost hundreds of thousands on free ins on that one I can only dream I can die like that without interns learning on my mysery keeping me alive to learn on and sucking obamacare money.

As Ron Pauls fans say, you can always "Let them die."
He was asked a direct question "if a young man refuses to purchase health insurance and then has a serious accident, what should happen?"
His answer as is mine, HE allowed himself to die.....nobody should be burdened by someone else's decision.
