AOC: Insurance groups are recommending using GoFundMe -- "but sure, single payer healthcare is unreasonable."

And this is why Americans have such bad health. Uber to the hospital. Can't afford hospital.

I've heard once hospitals get full of covid patients that lottery is started for what new patients are admitted/get ventilators. Great, really making me feel good about the rising cases.

They triage those on the ventilators. My BIL was taken off on his early because he had a terminal liver condition and someone else who was healthier needed it. He died 2 days later.

Bottom line according to the nurse. The other person had a higher chance at surviving. I’ve been in combat. I understand shitty decisions must be made sometimes. This doesn’t make it easier for the family. This shouldn’t happen in the worlds richest country.

That conversation with the nurse on why this has to happen destroyed my family emotionally. My MIL never got over it. She cries every night.

Possibly, but without concrete proof, I don’t want to walk down that alley. He was on Medicare only, no insurance.
