pire | so in the supposed shiningest country on earth, a man victim of a terrorist attack has to pay for his surgeries???? seriously? whoa, don't ever come to europe, you might be shocked of the welfare state here |
juniperb | Basically, yes Pire. BUT the American people`s largesse and empathetic hearts open and donate until the fund is met. To that end, I hope all who see the site and others like it , donate. ------------------ We need to listen to our own song, and share it with others, but not force it on them. Our songs are different. They should be in harmony with each other. ~ Mattie Stepanek |
katatonic | It would be nice if the hospital would donate to this man's recovery themselvrs. I have never met a decent doctor who would not waive some or all of such costs... |
Randall | These are matters of charity in a capitalist nation. Charity tends to meet the need (by the hospitals/doctors and by the gifts of our citizens). |
mockingbird | So, uh, Randall - you've never known someone who's had declare bankruptcy because of Emergency medical costs, then? ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
mockingbird | Because I have - all for the great sin of having his appendix rupture between college graduation and being able to find a job with benefits. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
pire | I do not doubt the large heart of americans compensate the smallness of the US welfare state. |
mockingbird | The kicker was then that he couldn't then pass the financial background chck required by many large corporations and institutions because he has a bankruptcy on his record. ------------------ If I've included this sig, it's because I'm posting from a mobile device. Please excuse all outrageous typos and confusing auto-corrects. |
Randall | I meant in a national emergency situation such as a terrorist act or catastrophe. Yes, unfortunately, in individual circumstances, it may not apply. Still, bankruptcy can be avoided. They try to collect and then write it off. |
Ami Anne | I am going to donate. I hope we can make him a millionaire and several times over, if possible. He is the real hero in this and the victim of senseless, mindless terrorism. I hope he knows people care. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/
