11. If they are talking about the poor you get what you pay or don't pay for

My daughter years ago not on health care almost died because of being misdiagnosed at a er in Kansas. They told her she had infection and sent her home and she had appendicitis which burst a few days later and a simple operation turned into two weeks in ICU where she almost died.

When my son n law went back for copies of records to sue just to pay the bill, was changed so lawyer said they couldn't do anything and surgeon said he was sorry but wouldn't testify against hospital worried about his job.

That was ten years ago, now she has good job with insurance but that experience forced them who at the time were young with minimum wage jobs to have to do bankruptcy at early age.

Shame on our country. Shame….
