This blog link was originally posted by Blue_In_Alaska regarding universal health care. It was about a woman who survived a machete attack who had no health insurance. What caught my eye and what I thought would be pertinent to this forum is this:
<snip>
She told me about that horrifying, long ago night. She described the sound a machete makes when it hits your skull. She didn’t feel her ear being severed, or her fingers. Her funny bone is gone, but she joked about her sense of humor being intact. She recently lost her dog, Bear, who defended her during the attack.
Her assailant screamed while he chopped her, “Why are you making me do this?” over and over. Her voice hushed when she shared with me that an angel helped her reach the phone to dial 911. Unseen hands held her legs up to keep her from bleeding to death while help was on the way.
Lennie was released from the hospital with only five days worth of pain pills and the inability to feed, bathe, use the bathroom or dress herself. She didn’t have insurance.
