Can your health Insurance Kill you?
YES!!!! Three weeks ago my 90 yr. old mother broke her hip.
The insurance wanted her out ASAP. Her Dr. tried to keep her
longer told he his hands were tied. In spite of her X-rays show
signs of pnemonia she was sadly shipped off to a nursing home.
I was not allowed to take her home because of the risk of complications. Yesterday morning the nursing home called said
she was unable to breath and was transporting her back to the hospital.
Now Im watching my mother on a ventalator gasphing for air like
every breath will be her last.
Dr. said this morning this could of been eliminated had she been
able to stay at hospital a few days longer.
Anyone whos not affraid of going to the hospital for anything
major should be.
I just cant deal with the millions being handed to Corporations
and everyone....thinks BUSH is Wonderful.
While our elderly are just shoved off to die.
