Just read this today. Illustrates the poor who slip through the cracks and are refused service even in emergency rooms and often for treatable conditions. That this happens in a country of such abundance is shameful. I don’t know the answer to healthcare (we were fortunate enough to have a Cadillac plan until last year and now have a high deductible HSA which has its pros and cons). I do know that the fact that what this article describes is going on in Texas is morally wrong. There has to be a better way than telling people too bad you are poor and uninsured. Now go home and die.
