Tea Bagger - "Person Who Cannot Afford Health Care Will Just Have To Die"

[IronLionZion]

18. That's a very good question. How do you ask an unconscious person if they want to pull themselves

up by their own bootstraps?

I'll also add to the ER fees that ambulance and other first responders are not free either. Who is responsible for asking the bootstrap question? Should a paramedic resuscitate the person long enough to keep them awake to ask about their bootstraps first, then pull the payment for that level of service out of their wallet, and then let them die to avoid more costly treatments?

I had to take an ambulance to the ER and got bills for $600 for the ambulance and $800 for the ER even though I had to wash the blood off myself in the hospital bathroom because it was so damn crowded they took too long to see me. It can be less crowded if we let tea party and libertarian folks go find some efficient free market solutions instead of letting them into the tax supported ER.
