Who Needs Health Insurance When You Can Sponsor A Car Wash?!?!

My sister is a member of the fitness club where that shooting took place. It was just chance that she was not there, and not in that fitness class, the night the shooting took place. My gratefulness for her safety has been tempered by my sadness for the women who were killed and injured there.

Well, just imagine my thoughts today when I talked to my sister, and she let me know what was going on for one of the women who was shot at the fitness club. The young woman had recently graduated college and therefore had "aged out" of coverage on her parents' health insurance. She did not have coverage provided through a job. I can't tell you why she didn't purchase coverage on the open market - because it was out of her financial reach, because she didn't think she needed it (being young and healthy), who knows, maybe she had a pre-existing condition that made it impossible for her to get it (see my next post). Whatever, she didn't have health insurance.

She is left with a hefty, hefty bill from the hospital due to the surgery and other treatment she needed because some sick fuck asshole came into her fitness club and shot her while she was minding her own business, exercising, trying to maintain her own health.

So her friends and family recently sponsored a friggin' car wash to raise funds to pay her hospital bills. Yes. A car wash.

...don't need house insurance. Someone's barn burns down and the whole community rebuilds it for free.

has way too many "I got mine fuck the rest of you" people among us for that to be rule rather than the exception.

I guess some people are still fighting the Civil War ... or some "civil" war.

living with you in your house? Until they die? The Amish do that, too. 20-30 yrs is a long time to be taking care of the infirm.

of health care? Do the Amish allow the Doctors to go all out when they are ill or do they place restrictions on medical care provided? Do they believe in immunizations?

Answer: The Amish use local doctors, dentists, eye doctors, etc., and will go to specialists and hospitals as needed. They make use of advances in health care that are used in hospitals, etc. They generally try home remedies for ailments first before going to a doctor or the hospital. They also are inclined to go to Mexico for major treatments because of the cost of medications. The children do get immunizations (although not all may do so just as not all Englishers may do so either). Answer coordinated by THE BUDGET.

What a ridiculous analogy.

the hospital may wipe out her debt through their charity program or write it off on taxes. who knows they may decide that she`s young enough to pay the bill for the next 20 some years.

country? No one should have to have a collection jar at the convenience store to pay for chemo or whatever.

Yeah, and let's all become Amish. Good grief!

yes, we are a third world country. In a third world country like this, the govt. is only too happy to allow 100,000 people to die per year due to lack of healthcare.

Physicians for a National Health Plan have a better way.

a group of local boys who have a rock and roll band put on a benefit concert for her. I know they meant well, but I couldn't help but think that only in America would people consider that normal and ok. They should be shouting from the rooftops that it's an obscenity that people deem it necessary to help others foot medical expenses through private acts of charity because this country has its head up its ass when it comes to providing decent health care for all.

This way the people themselves can deserve who is worthy of living or dying.

Cute kid with lower middle class parents and a big social network or a mom with three kids and a firefighter husband -- you get to live because we'll donate.

Minority child with poor parents, single Hispanic male -- oh well, it's God's will that you die. Sorry.

to pay her medical expenses? I understand the killer left substantial assets.
