This needs to get out to as many people as possible. People need to be at that hearing. Texas hospitals have gone crazy. Can you imagine putting your family member in the hospital and then having to fight the people who are supposed to keep them alive to keep them from killing your family member? This is just crazy!

Hospitals in Houston now have collateral agreements to not accept any patient that has been deemed "futile" by any other Houston hospital. This is a death sentence for these patients.

Insurance companies are keeping their costs down by putting pressure on hospitals to cut costs on the insured patients. This is all done behind the insured's back, without their knowledge. How DARE they? You think you're insured? Think again. Your insurance company is negotiating with your health care provider to cut their losses if you're extremely ill. You're worth more to them dead and the hospital will carry out the death sentence.

HOW DARE THEY?
