    Sorry, we can’t remove the misscarrying fetus, because it might die now instead of in 3 days.

    Good luck with the septic shock and infection, if you die you die.

    This is wrong. They are not allowed to let him die due to inability to pay. This was passed in 1986.

    Medical care would be much cheaper if they could let you die if you couldn’t pay. But now those costs are passed onto everyone who can pay. So essentially we already have a very bastardized and most inefficient version of universal healthcare.

    And it would be corrected quickly because who the hell would be ok with hospitals refusing life saving measures. But here we are stuck with the most expensive and ineffective version of universal healthcare imaginable.

    Luckily I put all my assests in my spouse’s name and divorced them and disowned my children so all my medical debt dies with me.
