You can get an MRI for $400. And it appears that she was already enrolled in MedicAid, so she had government health insurance already, too.
I was hoping you'd mention diabetes, but that's fine. We don't know that she didn't get an MRI. We do know that she got an ultrasound, which is considered more effective than an MRI at detecting them.
I know you're convinced that she died only because people simply hate poor people - but then how do you explain the death of my friend? She had insurance, money wasn't the object. Additionally, she had a condition that meant she was at a higher risk for a DVT than the dead woman you're grieving, yet despite seeking medical attention as instructed, she's just as dead.
Just a few weeks ago, another friend's husband died of pneumonia. He was in the hospital, too.
Here's the deal: sometimes sick people die. There's nothing here to indicate that the woman didn't get a routine standard of medical care. It's sad that her kids are orphans, but my friend's kids lost their Mom too. Real life sucks, but if you think I'm going to advocate giving better medical to mothers than other members of society, well, I guess you can guess how far I'll support that.
As far as I'm concerned, this is just the Dems ramping up the case for a single payer system, which would ironically mean that none of us will ever get an MRI in this instance.
From the article: Ain't that America. If somebody died, it can't just be a tragedy, or God's will....even if everybody did everything exactly right, we absolutely need somebody to blame.
