You need to get out and about a bit more. Here in rural WV bingo
fundraisers are a common affair for people with all sorts of medical
problems and no cash to treat them. Last year there was a fund raiser
for a woman, cancer, no insurance, no treatment until she could come
up with her share of the bill. Needless to say she is now gone.

There are people who die daily because they cant afford the treatment.
There are people who's cancer metastasises while they are trying to
find a facility that will administer charity care. There are people
who are simply refused payment unless they can come up with a major
percentage of the costs and then put there property up against the
remainder.

The koolaid colored glasses may allow you to think people arent dying
in the streets, and of course there arent actual bodies in the
streets, but none the less people are going in the ground daily while
profit taking abounds in the medical profession.
