What is wrong with these greedy reps and senators taking money from Insur companies, drug companies and lobbyists? They are bankrupting then killing us. My healthcare is almost 50% of my income and I am in CA so the cost of living is very high. People are committing suicide because they can not afford their health bills. The US is really fucked up.

As to transporting a dead body across national borders, there are good reasons why neither country permits DIY in this, and requires professional participation. I don’t know what these people actually did, or didn’t do, but I don’t see them as admirable, and I don’t see their decisions as in any way an indictment of the healthcare system, or of laws regarding dead bodies. Quite the opposite. I think they acted as dangerous fools. Just my opinion, of course.

...on the roof rack of the car to avoid the hassle of dealing with questions in a foreign tongue, or whatever else in a state far from home.
