Sad fact of American hospitals is that for the most part they are businesses....(see John Q for examples).
I think perhaps part of the outcry stems from people like you and me who have insurance that wouldnt cover the cost of the transplants...and we would be screwed...so maybe all those who look on us in shame should think about the fact that yes our country DID offer the support for the transplants for these poor imigrants. I think one of this countries greatest problems is how the managed care insurance companies are really destroying the healthcare industries.
Do you realize that someone who tries to kill themselves has to have PRE authorization from their insurance company PRIOR to getting treatment?
