Welcome to healthcare in Murrica.  :lol:  

What a sad story.  

https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/rockdale-county/deputies-say-hospital-discharged-seriously-ill-man-left-him-street/VE5UIYZ4IVE5RNZKZLWE5DIIMM/">The man, who is not being identified, still had medical tubes coming out of his body.



Quote"Poor guy. But he probably needs an ambulance and not..." the 911 caller says. "It's right in front of the Piedmont Rockdale Emergency entrance."

Freeman said the 68-year-old man was discharged from the hospital Thursday. A hospital employee told officers that the man had been at the hospital for 35 days and that Medicare would not continue to pay for his treatment.

The employee said that security dressed the man and walked him out.

Freeman said an officer was told the man was cleared as "fit to leave" by two doctors and the hospital wanted him gone.

Free market baby! If we just ended medicare and went free market this guy would be taken care of. Or, Dr.Evil would just keep increasing the income gap and size of his d!ck shaped rockets. I'm sure at least one of those two things would happen.

If you cant afford healthcare or health insurance, you probably don't deserve it.

I'm sure they first checked his Sexual Status or whatever it's called and his party affiliation, and for sure his vaxx status.

I went to my Physical therapy session yesterday. Mask was mandated they shot me in the head to check my temp.
asked all the proper questions as to who,what and where on Covid and said "Have a seat"

Lady walks in with two teenage girls(Both resembling young men, yes short hair tatts maybe 14 yo) and as the young man goes to check temp. Loudly proclaims "Oh Yes we are All Fully Vaxxed with Boosters No Worries" That is when I got Nervous.
They came in and sat on my side of the office. I got up and Limped to the other side. So Far So Good, hopefully they weren't shedding.
