I totally understand why this guy did this! He felt he had no other choice and this was a way he could get medical care. Hmmm ya think something is wrong with our medical system?

but a sad representation on how desperate people can get.. to thhink it would be so easy to change life for everyone, if people could choose to be more equitable

Desperate times call for desperate measures...but in this case, there was NO NEED to be desperate. Our medicare system needs a serious overhaul.
