I said 'lying in a gutter' not dying. As for your story, i guess, as usual, we will just have to take your word for it.
Even the thread title is inaccurate:
"ILLEGAL ALIEN" Dies on Hospital After Being Ignored for 45 Minutes"
This is a simple matter of intent Bells. The thread was started not out of compassion for this person but to get the bash America crowds rocks off...you know it and so do i.
I agree with you.
If you read the posts I first made in this thread, you'd see that.
What health care system are you talking about?
Yours and every one else's.
She dont have to thank me or you for that matter. This does not take away from the fact that in the U.S there are the best ERs in the world...Dont compare a hospital in the outback to one in South Central.
Well one of your "best ER's" let this woman die in her own vomit and blood. Although they were kind enough to have a janitor clean around her.
Contrary to what you may believe, Australia not is all outback country. I would be willing to bet that even our smallest hospitals in the actual outback would not sit back and do nothing while a woman took 45 minutes to die, while vomitting blood, while the staff sat and did their work at their desks right in front of her. This woman died of abandonment in a hospital, where she had gone for help.
I dont know what hospitals are like in Australia and you dont know what they are like in U.S, go walk around South Central or Bushwick, Brooklyn like i have then maybe you will know a little more.
Hang on. I thought you said the hospitals in the US are the best in the world, or at least their ER's are?
The reason this woman died is because she was poor and uninsured. There is a common perception that if you travel to the US, be sure you have the best medical insurance and hope like hell you don't get sick or have an accident as it could very well be you won't make it home. I guess if you are unlucky enough to make it to a hospital in a poor area in the US, that perception might indeed come true. I have known of people who preferred to fly back to Australia with broken limbs and go to the hospital here then risk going to one of the ER's in the US, having been there previously for other medical complaints. After having read and heard of some of the horror stories, I can understand why.
Yes you do have some great hospitals in the US. But if you are poor and uninsured, you basically only get medical treatment that is subpar. So please spare me the whole "US has the best ER's in the world" hyperbole. This woman's death and many more like hers only prove you wrong.

Do you think for one minute that we would be given free healthcare in Mexico if they knew we were there illegally? Hell freakin no.
I'm tired of the bleeding heart liberals who want us to pay for everyone and everything

Parasites suck their host dry. That's what the criminal aliens are doing to us.
Sucking our: schools, hospitals, welfare, food stamps, jails, jobs, neighborhoods, law enforcement, etc dry. And WE are stuck paying for them.
What in the hell is the matter with you? And you call yourself a Christian? You're only a bloody Christian to the point where your wallet meets your backside. And you dare talk about "saving people"? She was a Californian native you gormless twit. Ergo she did belong there.
The whole point of this thread is to show that a hospital should care for the sick and that a person's immigration status should not come into it if someone comes into an ER and is dying.
