Can't find the story anywhere online, but I heard it on my local news station. They said he wasn't accepted to a hospital because he didn't have insurance.

They said he wasn't accepted to a hospital because he didn't have insurance.

That's appalling.

Hospitals have a duty of care to provide medical treatment to those In need, Irrespective of whether the patient has Insurance. In my view, they were partly responsible for the death.

Not in the United States they don’t. The US bases everything on capitalism and business. Even though in Canada we have free medical care, it is absolute shit and many Canadians (especially those who are more wealthy) travel to the United States to use THEIR health care, even though it costs a lot. This shows something true about life: You get what you pay for.

Lol

I didn't realize how bad the medical sector Is In the US.

In my country, regardless If you're a private or public patient, the same level of treatment Is provided. Of course, pending on availability, private patients get to choose their own doctor and there's minimal waiting periods with surgical needs.
