That's not the issue. The issue is access to care. The best treatment in the world is useless if no one can afford it.

At least the audience members who shouted out "Yes" to letting someone die were being honest about the implications of their position.

So... You're saying that a hypothetical person who already has access to care but chooses not to exercise it is denied access to care? Hmm... I guess that makes sense in bizzaro world...

You don't have access if you don't have insurance and you can't self pay, now do you.

AngusJS what part didn't you understand? Read again what I wrote. The woman was self employed, had ZERO insurance or personal finances to cover the costs of cancer treatment. Yet she was still cared for, she was not denied treatment or told to leave. In fact she was on the operating table within 3 days of diagnoses . The system, though not perfect, did work you silly nit. What is your complaint?

I did read what you wrote. You did not say anything about her finances. I assumed that she self-paid.

I wasn't commenting on Blitzer's question, I was commenting on the situation of the man in the video.
