I'm in Texas and we have a lot of very impoverished and uninsured people, I'm just wondering when the liberals start offering to relocate them to one of the liberal states. If they really care, they would.
So, in the blue states, health care isn't paid for by anyone except the aforementioned fairies?

Sharing a post below from John Muinson:

Just a quick look for hospital's that provide charity care in the Orlando area and this comes up.

https://www.floridahospital.com/site...eb_1_30_14.pdf

"To be eligible for a 100% reduction from gross charges (i.e. full write-off) the individual’s household income must be at or below 200% of the current Federal Poverty Guidelines."

If she made only $9,000 per year she clearly would have received 100% reduction from charges.

Federal Poverty Guidelines | Families USA

The lack of Medicaid did not kill this woman, there were other options that she did not explore.

The hospital also has excellent Cardiovascular care.

Here is a statement from the hospital I linked that Dill would have qualified for 100% off her bill through the charity care program.

"Whether your condition is simple or complex, acute or chronic, we have the tools and expertise to help diagnose and treat it. If you would like to schedule an appointment with a heart expert of the Cardiovascular Institute at Florida Hospital East Orlando, please call us today at (407) 303-8656."

Uh... uh.... uh.... Boooosh!

Terrible if true and that hospital needs to be sued, but I think there is more to this story than the link is saying. It is a leftist publication after all, they could be heavily slanting or distorting the facts.

That's the next narrative: that people are dying because they didn't have Obamacare.

Unbelievable.

If true, the hospital that killed her. However this story seems to have a lot of holes in it, it's very questionable.
