or the brutal nature of the system. You don't chemo at the ER or most clinics, if you can't pay you often die.

Back in the late 90's I had an employee who hadn't been around long enough for coverage yet that got appendicitis. He went to the ER and was diagnosed but was also advised that there was nothing further that could be done for him until it burst because he was stable at the moment. So, he was sent home to suffer for a couple of days until the thing burst and could have killed him and then the situation allowed for him to be treated.

That go to the ER nonsense is some of the most callous, stupid, and ignorant bile that has come down the line in a while.
