The slaughter of innocents.

[MedicalAdmin]

181. I have met several of good doctors. .

But spinal surgery and other very expensive treatments like cancer treatments are not cheap. Even if my surgeon had wanted to donate his time or let me pay over time when I could afford it, the hospital, support staff, etc would all need to be paid. My surgeon would have helped me, but he would have had to pay 70,000 out of his own pocket to do the surgery that would have fixed my spine. That is unreasonable.

And I made too much on paper as an independent contractor to qualify for any programs that fund treatment for those who are poor. I don't actually have any money, but my gross income was too high to qualify.

I'm past being angry about this. In some cases life actually is too short. But I am sad about it and I hope that others will keep pushing single payer or some other form or rational universal coverage so this doesn't happen again.
